Maps


For parks that extend over a large area a map of the park can be useful...


Central Park extends over a very large area, posted and printed versions of Central Park maps make it easier to find different attractions of the park...

NYC's opens spaces opportunities  are in general created by 4 organizations, the Parks Department (parks, Greenstreets), NYC Department of Transportation (Plazas), NYC Dept of City Planning (Privately Owned Public Spaces(POPS)) and neighborhood Business Improvement districts (BIDS)




This is the Parks Department map, seen here is Chelsea. This map does not show DOT Plazas, nor City Planning POPS.



This  map is  the City Planning Department map of POPS for Community Board 5 that are in Chelsea , it does not show DOT Plazas, nor Parks Department Playgrounds/smaller Parks.

NYC DOT does not produce a Plaza's map that we know about.



23rd Street Flatiron BID map(not shown) shows City parks and Plazas, but does not show POPS.

Private maps generally  list only larger NYC parks, totally ignoring Plazas, POPS and smaller NYC parks.





The Park Chelsea map is a neighborhood map and it is the only map  listing all the Parks, Plazas, POPS,  and benches in the neighborhood.
