Daily Care
From groundskeepers to gardeners and beyond, the crews you see in the Park daily perform the vital work that keeps Central Park clean, green, and thriving for the 42 million visits it receives each year.
These teams:
-
Curate Central Park’s stunning gardens and care for its landscapes
-
Clean restrooms and remove trash
-
Make regular repairs, keeping playgrounds and other Park infrastructure safe and beautiful
-
Tend to the more than 19,000 trees that call the Park home
-
...and so much more.

“Central Park is my home. Some people see this as just a job, but not me. This is my passion. I take pride in keeping it beautiful because I know what it means to people.”
Ana
"My favorite part is seeing the results. People notice when we make a big change, and they walk by and say ‘thank you.’ It's so good to feel like I'm doing a job that everybody likes to see. It feels good to take care of others."
