The city hired a non-profit to manage the park. The vast majority of funds spent in Central Park come from the taxpayer. The main reason for the setup is so that the city will have plausible deniability when rich people want to use part of the park for their own endeavors (weddings, galas, etc.). You certainly aren't pretending that Central Park is some sort of privately provided amenity, are you?
- jeffbee 6y agoNot sure which Central Park you are referring to but in New York City the private Central Park Conservancy raises the vast majority of the park's normal operating funds and over the last 30 years has provided virtually all of the capital for renovations. https://www.city-journal.org/html/set-parks-free-11996.html https://www.city-journal.org/html/set-parks-free-11996.html
