Summer is starting and life is returning to New York City’s parks.
The first signs of summer in New York City are often subtle: hydrants dribbling water down the block; Mister Softee trucks patrolling the neighborhood; the air on trash night smelling riper than usual.
But this year, New York’s parks began bustling with barbecues, birthday parties and boozy picnics well before Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer in the city.
As Covid cases decline and vaccination rates rise, New Yorkers have been eager to return to public spaces, where they are relearning life’s rituals.
Over several weeks in May, we visited parks around the city to see what this summer has in store. In Flushing Meadows Corona Park, New Yorkers were attending long-awaited family barbecues in Queens, and athletes were skating and playing racquetball in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. Love was blossoming in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and people were practicing tango on the Christopher Street Pier in Manhattan.
