  • Park Capital Improvements Campaign

    PARK CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS:MADISON SQUARE PARK STARTED THE CAMPAIGN FOR MADISON SQUARE PARK IN 2017 AND WILL SUPPORT PARK IMPROVEMENT AND TREE FUND. SINCE ITS RESTORATION 20 YEARS AGO, OUR JEWEL OF A PARK HAS BECOME A WELCOME RESPITE AND VIBRANT INSPIRATION FOR MORE THAN 3.5 MILLION VISITORS EACH YEAR - BUT ITS POPULARITY ALSO DRAINS RESOURCES AND STRAINS INFRASTRUCTURE. MOUNTING OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES INCLUDE GARBAGE, RECYCLING, AND PEST MANAGEMENT. UNSIGHTLY DETERIORATION OF AGING HARDSCAPE (PAVERS AND CURBSTONES), FENCING, AND MONUMENTS IS THE RESULT OF DECADES OF WEAR AND TEAR FROM FOOTSTEPS AND WEATHER. INSUFFICIENT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CREATES LOGISTICAL CHALLENGES AND INCONVENIENCES FORUSERS. THE DOG RUN IS NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THE ENTHUSIASM, WASTE, AND VARIANCE IN SIZES OF ITS CANINE FANS. FINALLY, ONE-THIRD OF THE PARK'S TREES WILL REACH THE END OF THEIR NATURAL LIVES WITHIN THE NEXT 20 YEARS, MAKING SUCCESSION PLANNING AN URGENT NEED.
