NYC Parks Historical Markers

The purpose of this NYC Parks & Recreation program is to place historical identification markers which describe the history of the site, park improvements, and the biography of the person for whom the park is named. These historical signs also offer virtual and physical context to parks, playgrounds, monuments, and landmarks across New York City.
