SUPPORT CENTRAL PARK
The Central Park Conservancy is responsible for raising the funds required to care for Central Park—almost entirely through private philanthropy. Every donation to the Conservancy goes directly toward maintaining and restoring the Park. Your support helps keep Central Park clean, beautiful, and free for all to enjoy.
FIND IT ON THE MAP
From restrooms and playgrounds to food & drink, and visitor centers — it's all on the map. Find what you need and plan your next Park day.
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.
GET TO KNOW OUR WORK
For nearly 50 years, the Central Park Conservancy has been the sole caretaker of our shared backyard, working every day to keep the Park beautiful, safe, and welcoming—from the bridle path to spring blooms to its 10,000 benches.
