Many people have the misconception that tax dollars pay for the preservation and upkeep of Central Park. In reality the Central Park Conservancy is responsible for 85% of the cost to maintain this jewel in the heart of New York City. Only with your generous support will the Conservancy be able to keep Central Park a beautiful place for leisure, recreation and the appreciation of nature for generations to come.
