Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

In partnership with the City of New York and the community, the Prospect Park Alliance restores, develops, and operates Prospect Park for the enjoyment of all by caring for the natural environment, preserving historic design, and serving the public through facilities and programs.

  • Visitor Services and Events: Prospect Park receives more than 10 million visits each year and the Alliance serves visitors to the Park by offering a variety of fee-based recreational activities, public and private events, and food service operations. Recreational activities include a year-round tennis center and carousel rides in the summer. Food and beverage services are available for refreshment, private events may be held at a number of different locations, and public events are coordinated throughout the year. The Alliance sublicenses the LeFrak Center and works closely with the operator to provide a variety of year round recreational activities.

    Expenses $5,279,000 · Revenue $6,253,477

  • Design and Construction: Prospect Park Alliance restores the landscape and buildings within the Park while preserving the historic design. Projects are taken through a design and approval process, in partnership with the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation, and are supervised during construction by Prospect Park Alliance. Projects designed by Prospect Park Alliance have won a number of prestigious awards.

    Expenses $2,310,350 · Revenue $1,172,789

  • Field Operations: Prospect Park Alliance partners with the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks) in caring for the Park's natural environment. The Landscape Management Team monitors, restores and maintains 250 acres of natural areas, coordinating volunteers and the Alliance's Woodlands Youth Crew in this work. The Alliance also provides maintenance staff, supplementing the staff of NYC Parks in cleaning the Park as well as providing a crew to make repairs.

    Expenses $2,550,728 · Revenue $40,725

  • Prospect Park Alliance offers educational programs teaching visitors about the natural world and its stewardship, helping to support the Alliance's mission to maintain the Park as a resource for New York City, especially those New Yorkers from underserved and low to mid-income neighborhoods. The Park's Audubon Center and Lefferts Historic House Museum provide important educational and cultural programming. Prospect Park also has a very active Volunteer Corps that is made up of community members who donate their time and energy and are critical to the ongoing maintenance and restoration of the Park.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
