The official and unspoken rules of NYC parks

WNYC News | Apr 28

It’s getting warmer out there and that means more people are going outside, especially to our city parks. 

And for a lot of New Yorkers, city parks are the closest thing we have to a backyard.

But, do you know what the official rules are of how to behave in parks?

All Things Considered producer Elizabeth Shwe wrote about the official New York City park rules AND the unwritten rules of shared public spaces in this week's Looped In NYC guest column. She joins WNYC's Sean Carlson to talk more about what she's heard from park goers about what they think is acceptable behavior in NYC parks.
