New York City Athletic Facilities for Event Permitting

A dataset of facilities designed for sports within New York City parks, managed by the Citywide Event Management System for booking permits. It includes locations available for permitting and those designated for sports but not available for permitting. The data uses the NAD_1983_StatePlane_New_York_Long_Island_FIPS_3104_Feet projection with lengths in feet and areas in square feet.

Use Cases

• Analyze the spatial distribution of facilities designated for sports to identify coverage gaps across NYC parks.
• Cross-reference permit availability status with facility locations to optimize the Citywide Event Management System booking process.
• Calculate facility area measurements in square feet to assess capacity for different athletic activities.

Strengths

• Managed by the City of New York for official permitting via the Citywide Event Management System.
• Uses a standardized spatial projection (NAD_1983_StatePlane_New_York_Long_Island_FIPS_3104_Feet) for geographic consistency.
• Distinguishes between facilities available for permitting and those designated but not available.

Limitations

• Specific data volume (row count, column count) and sample data are unavailable for assessing scale and structure.
• The data dictionary is hosted externally, requiring an additional step to understand field definitions.
