Social Distancing and Enforcement: Parks Patrol Data
Note: Due to important notes and changes to this dataset over time, we recommend you review the data dictionary prior to using this data. During the Covid-19 response, NYC Parks deployed staff from the Urban Parks Rangers and Parks Enforcement Patrol divisions across NYC parks to educate patrons on social distancing and enforce tresspassing violations when patrons are in closed areas of the park. This dataset contains encounters and non-encounter patrols recorded by these staff. This is part of the NYC Parks Covid-19 Social Distancing and Enforcement Data Collection: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/browse?Data-Collection_Data-Collection=NYC+Parks+Covid-19+Social+Distancing+and+Enforcement&q=nyc+parks+covid Data Dictionary: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dr6-cOUsk1LIynjqeXi02I4p4riV2ZVr4_R4LNwI2MI/edit?usp=sharing

Columns
Each source column, with the name and type we use to store it.
The publisher has not provided a data dictionary.
0 of 24 columns carry a concept; 0 carry a description from the publisher. Read the concept column before you join. A column with no concept carries no claim from us, and a name that looks like a key is not one.
