Central Park Conservancy Inc

The Central Park Conservancy oversees all aspects of the care, maintenance and restoration of New York's most iconic public space, Central Park. This work allows the park's 843-acres to serve as a source of respite and relaxation, impacting the physical and mental well-being of city residents, and more than 40-Million people who visit the park each year. The mission of the Central Park Conservancy is to preserve and celebrate Central Park as a sanctuary from the pace and pressure of city life, enhancing the enjoyment and wellbeing of all. Our guiding principle is that Central Park is a masterpiece of landscape architecture created to provide a profoundly democratic space and green respite for the city and all its people and to establish New York as one of the great cities of the world. The Conservancy honors its commitment to this iconic public space by applying its deep expertise in urban park management; by partnering with the community and the city of New York; and by marshalling all of the resources necessary for the park's long-term care. The Conservancy's work is founded on the belief that citizen leadership and private philanthropy are key to ensuring that the park and its essential purpose endure.
