MEET YOUR PARK RANGERS

The Central Park Conservancy Ranger Corps puts trained, community-focused staff throughout the Park seven days a week. In their distinctive green uniforms, Rangers educate, inform, and help — answering questions, reuniting lost children with their families, supporting unhoused neighbors, aiding injured wildlife, and more.
