I am proud to appoint Tricia Shimamura as NYC's new Parks Commissioner today. Tricia has spent her career in public service fighting for working people, most recently as Manhattan Borough Parks Commissioner. In a city where almost everything costs something, our parks belong to everyone.

NY4P and the #PlayFair Coalition congratulate Council Member Ty Hankerson on his appointment as Chair of the Parks and Recreation Committee and look forward to working closely with him to advance a bold vision for @nycgovparks.org. (🧵1/4)
