List of parks in New York City

Three entities manage parks within New York City, each with its own responsibilities: The city has 28,000 acres (113 km2) of municipal parkland and 14 miles (22 km) of public municipal beaches.

The largest is Pelham Bay Park, followed by the Staten Island Greenbelt and Van Cortlandt Park.

The City Parks Foundation offers more than 1200 free performing arts events in parks across the city each year, including Central Park Summerstage, the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival and dance, theater, and children's arts festivals.

While Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is larger than any of the parks listed, at 9,155 acres (37.05 km2),[3] it is not ranked since it is a wildlife refuge and not an active-use park.
