Spend an action-packed day with Adrian Benepe, Commissioner of New York City Parks and Recreation, as he demonstrates what it takes to rule over all five borough parks, including our own 843 acre Central Park, where his airy offices are located. Commissioner Benepe, a P.S. 75 graduate, will personally host a student (age 8 and up) and parent chaperone on a mutually chosen date. Expect discussion on environmental, historic, and civic issues!

Adrian Benepe has worked for the last 28 years protecting and enhancing New York City's natural and historic beauty.  He has continued this effort as Commissioner of the Department of Parks & Recreation, appointed by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on January 25, 2002.  In this role he has focused on improving park facilities and programs for children, developing new waterfront parks and greenways, and making New York City bloom with millions of new flowers and hundred of gardens.
