The Metropolitan Recreation Center closed for repairs in January 2025, and over a year later, there’s no end in sight. Proud to join @ny4p, @nycfuture, @nbkparks, @CMjengutierrez, @cmrestler, and @emilyassembly to demand that the city reopen the Metropolitan Recreation Center.

Thanks to @ReynosoBrooklyn, @CMRestler, @CMJenGutierrez, @NBKParks, @nycfuture, @RisingTideEffct for their advocacy and leadership! #RespectTheRec

NY4P rallied with Bk neighbors to demand the reopening of Metropolitan Pool & Rec Center, which closed abruptly over a year ago and is an invaluable resource for thousands of residents. Open Met Pool and fund @NYCParks public recreation citywide! ✍️bit.ly/respecttherec

Our members are on the front lines doing the work every day—and we know firsthand that strong funding means stronger communities. Parks aren’t a luxury—they’re essential. And we’ll keep pushing to make sure they get the support they deserve. #unionstrong #LIUNA #feelthepower

TOMORROW: Rally with NY4P, @nycfuture, @NBKParks & neighbors to demand the reopening of Metropolitan Rec Center and increased investment in public recreation across NYC. 📆 Weds, 3/25 📍 261 Bedford Ave, Williamsburg ⏰ 5–6PM RSVP: eventbrite.com/e/rally-to-fun…

Today we gathered at City Hall with @ny4p and the Play Fair Coalition to rally for our city’s parks! NYers deserve clean & safe green spaces that make NYC livable - sign the petition at bit.ly/fundparksnow to demand a reinvestment in @NYCParks & move toward #1Percent4Parks!

Parks Power Affordability! When our public spaces are well-funded, well-maintained, and prioritized, we are all better off mentally, physically, and financially. Thank you @NY4P and the Play Fair for Parks Coalition for having me on the steps of City Hall to demand better.

@Gothamist spoke with NY4P about the impacts of disinvestment. “What we’ve seen over the last 5, 6, 7 years, this lack of investment is catching up. If you’re not funding @NYCParks, you’re going to see conditions worsening, and that’s what’s happening.” gothamist.com/news/parks-adv…

A full house (plus overflow) at 250 Broadway for the @NYCCouncil Preliminary Budget Hearing on @NYCParks is a testament to how critical our parks and open spaces are to every New Yorker. Parks make NYC livable and affordable. It’s time to fund them accordingly!

Play Fair Coalition advocates representing every corner of NYC and its parks system rallied this morning, calling on @NYCMayor to fully restore @NYCParks funding/staff cut over the past four years and deliver #1Percent4Parks. 📢 bit.ly/fundparksnow

We’re rallying TODAY! 📢📢📢 See you at 10:30am on the steps of City Hall.

During @NY4P’s Mayoral Candidates Forum on Parks last year, @ZohranKMamdani was among the most knowledgeable in the room on the challenges we face in our parks system and committed to increasing the Parks Budget, if elected. Let’s see what’s happens next….

The city Parks Department last week launched its design phase for the reconstruction of Queensbridge Park's ballfields, a project funded by @CMJulieWon . bit.ly/4lAVOFg

Each year, NY4P distributes hundreds of thousands of FREE daffodil bulbs and native wildflower seed packets thanks to supporters like you. 2026 marks our 25th anniversary! If this project means something to you, consider making a gift today. 🌼bit.ly/4so7E8f

Happy first day of spring from NY4P! In the coming weeks, hundreds of thousands of daffodils planted by New Yorkers during the 2025 #DaffodilProject will bloom across the city. We can't wait to see your blooms! Tag @ny4p in your posts for a chance to be featured.
