Municipal Parks and Recreation Grant

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) is pleased to announce a new grant program to fund the development and improvement of municipal parks and recreation sites. Funds for the Municipal Parks and Recreation (MPR) Grant Program are provided by the Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022. MPR funding is available for Counties, Cities, Towns, and Villages for the construction of recreational facilities and other improvements to municipally owned recreational sites and parks. Examples include playgrounds, courts, playing fields, and facilities for swimming, biking, boating, picnicking, hiking, fishing, camping or other recreational activities. Grants will primarily fund construction costs.
