About
Central Park and the Central Park Conservancy
Central Park is one of the most famous and beloved urban public spaces in the world.
Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1857, the 843-acre park
was the first purpose-built public park in the country and is a National
Historic Landmark. The Central Park Conservancy, a private not-for-profit
organization, was founded in 1980 to rescue the Park which had fallen into
serious disrepair. Since that time, the Conservancy has overseen the investment
of approximately $1 billion in the restoration of the Park, and now hosts over
40 million visitors a year.
The Conservancy’s mission is to preserve and celebrate Central Park as a sanctuary
from urban life. The City of New York has formally entrusted the care of the
Park to the Conservancy which is responsible for every aspect of its care,
including landscape maintenance, capital improvements, and the visitor
experience. Committed to sharing the best practices in urban park management,
the Conservancy also serves as a resource for other NYC parks and for
public-private partnerships around the world. The Conservancy employs roughly 400
people and has an operating budget of $100 million.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
The Central Park Conservancy’s work is guided by the belief that Central Park, and
all public parks, must be managed and actively protected as an inclusive and
democratic space for all.
Working closely with our New York City partners, we will always strive towards creating
and sustaining a sense of belonging for all visitors and advocating for
equitable and accessible public use of the Park.
In service of this belief, we are committed to fostering a workforce and
organizational culture that is as diverse as Central Park itself and the
dynamic city it serves.
Safety Requirements
Establishment and maintenance of a safe work environment is the shared responsibility of this
organization and employees at every level. The Conservancy will make every

and notify his/her supervisor immediately.
