Dear
Mayor Giuliani,
s
we enter the new millennium, New Yorkers are
enjoying our city more than ever. In the midst
of prosperity, new construction, and a renewed
sense of community, people feel a strong sense
of pride and accomplishment.
Visitors
from around the world flock to New York City,
and I am proud to say that our green spaces
are among its great attractions. Over the past
two years, the Citys more than 28,000
acres of parkland have grown cleaner and greener
than ever. We offer more free programming, involve
more citizens in caring for our green spaces,
and welcome more people to concerts, theater,
and sporting events than any other park system.
Through
your leadership and support, we have seen hundreds
of capital projects come to fruition, including
the historic renovation of City Hall Park. As
you read of our other accomplishments and plans
for the future, I know you will be as excited
as I am about what is happening at Parks.We
thank you for the continued support that has
made these years at Parks so rewarding for the
public we serve.
All the best,
Henry J. Stern
