BIGGER: Open Spaces - By 2030, nearly 100 neighborhoods will need more playgrounds. Although New York has added more than 300 acres of parks in the last five years, it is still not enough. Right now, more than 300,000 children live too far from a playground and more than two million New Yorkers live more than 10 minutes from a park. Too many neighborhoods lack trees and broad sidewalks. As we grow, our challenge is to find more creative ways to make our neighborhoods greener and more active than ever.
