Many large and heavily-trafficked parks rely on private funding for maintenance and for hosting events.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5>Private Funding for Parks<\/h5>\n<p>There\u2019s often a stark difference between the public maintenance and the private funding these parks receive.<\/p>\n<p>In FY 2018, the greatest contrasts occurred in Manhattan, where Bryant Park received $2,408 in public maintenance funding, compared to $8,584,181 in private funding for the year.<\/p>\n<p>Central Park received significantly more public funding at $446,300, but received $24,717,743 in private funding \u2013 by far the most of any park.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5>Public Funding for Parks<\/h5>\n<p>Manhattan parks receive more private funding than parks in other boroughs. This means parks in other boroughs have to rely more on public spending for maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>Prospect Park, for example, received $1,173,653 in public funding &#8211; more than double what Central Park received &#8211; but only $1,942,874 in private funding &#8211; roughly one twelfth of Central Park\u2019s private budget.<\/p>\n<p>Smaller parks and playgrounds received extremely varied amounts of funding, from less than $5,000 in public funding to more than $190,000.<\/p>\n<p>The number and kind of facilities at a park influence this number.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column large-4\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<h3>NYC Parks Funding<\/h3>\n<p><small>FY 2018 (July 2017 &#8211; June 2018)<\/small><\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n                          &nbsp;<br \/>\n<i style=\"color:#12B886\" class=\"fas fa-paint-roller fa-4x\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><br \/>\n<strong>NYC Parks Budget<\/strong><br \/>\nMaintentance and Operations, Total<br \/>\n<strong>$420 million<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<i style=\"color:#82C91E\" <i=\"\" class=\"fas fa-tree fa-4x\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><br \/>\n<strong>NYC Parks Budget<\/strong><br \/>\nMaintenance and Operations, Allocated to Individual Parks<br \/>\n<strong>$44.7 million<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<i style=\"color:#F59F00\" class=\"fas fa-money-check-alt fa-4x\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><br \/>\n<strong>Private Funding<\/strong><br \/>\nMaintentance and Events<br \/>\nAcross All Parks<br \/>\n<strong>$71.7 million<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- END DIV.ROW --><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>NYC Parks Funding: Find Your Park<\/h3>\n<p>The map below uses the most recent data available to break down how public spending for 2018 was utilized to perform park maintenance.
