The city's decision to allow cars back onto Queens' Forest Park and Staten Island's Silver Lake Park sets a dangerous precedent.
NY4P and friends are asking @NYCMayor to intervene and reverse this regressive policy.
@NYCParks are for people, not cars!

Last weekend, @QueensDistance hosted their annual Queens Marathon, with proceeds going to @NYCKidsRISE's scholarship program for 3rd graders across Queens!
We are so proud of Kevin, a Team SK alum who spoke to PIX11 about the @NYCKidsRISE's partnership: youtu.be/aBRk1yeoTQM?si=SVfT…

Oh no! 😬 I haven’t ran in months
but I’m scheduled for a stress test on the treadmill tomorrow.
I’m nervous I’ll I won’t make it pass level 1. 😩
I should have kept doing my weekly Monday night run with @QueensDistance runners from @Neirstavern
Feeling like MJ lyrics “I’m going to make a change for once in my life…. I’m taking to the man in the mirror”.
