CPF makes parks vibrant centers of community through sports, arts, community building, and environmental education.
About us
City Parks Foundation (CPF) is the only independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is to offer programs in public parks throughout the five boroughs of New York City. At CPF, we are dedicated to invigorating and transforming parks into dynamic, vibrant centers of urban life through arts, environmental education, sports, and community building programs for all New Yorkers. Our ethos is simple: we believe thriving parks mean thriving communities. We produce SummerStage, the largest free, outdoor performing arts festival in NYC, presenting world-class artists from across the globe and our own neighborhoods on our mainstage in Central Park and in local parks in all five boroughs, and our Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre and roving PuppetMobile present marionette puppet theater throughout New York City. Partnerships for Parks, a public-private program of City Parks Foundation and NYC Parks, supports and champions a growing network of community leaders who care and advocate for the transformation of our neighborhood parks. We connect youngsters to nature in the urban environment through progressive, experiential teaching. Using parks as classrooms, we provide learning experiences and hands-on activities in urban forests, coastal areas, and gardens. Free golf, tennis, track & field, soccer, and fitness programs bring high-quality instruction and equipment into areas where few organized athletic opportunities exist. We offer leveled training, year-round scholarship coaching, and special pro events.

It’s My Park, our signature volunteer program through Partnerships for Parks, strives to create an equitable park system by focusing on parks that need extra love. Take a look at these amazing before and after photos from our volunteer day with The Community Preservation Corporation! Over the course of 4 hours, volunteers totally transformed these worn-down and overgrown bleachers at Roberto Clemente Ballfield in Crotona Park through diligent weeding, scraping, and painting. Thanks so much to CPC for all of your hard work. Reach out to us if your company would like to take part in an employee service day to help beautify parks in the Bronx! https://bit.ly/ItsMyPark24
