New York City Parks Event Listings Since 2013

2013 onward records of events hosted in New York City parks, managed by NYC Parks. The data includes event titles, dates, times, locations, costs, and organizers across seven related tables. It is published by data.cityofnewyork.us.

Use Cases

• Analyze event frequency and type trends over time using the `date` and `title` columns.
• Identify popular event locations or organizers by joining the primary Events_Events table on `event_id` with the Events_Locations and Events_Organizers tables.
• Filter for free community events using the `cost_free` and `cost_description` columns for public outreach analysis.
• Associate event descriptions and multimedia content by linking the `event_id` to related tables for Events_Images and Events_YouTube.

Strengths

• Data spans from 2013 onward, providing a multi-year record of public events.
• Structured across seven related tables (Events_Events, Events_Categories, etc.) linked by `event_id` for detailed analysis.

Limitations

• Unknown total row count and dataset size limits assessment of comprehensiveness.
• Geographic scope is limited exclusively to New York City parks, not generalizable to other regions.
