The longtime steward of Prospect Park will soon oversee all the city’s green spaces, as Mayor Eric Adams has named Sue Donoghue as the Commissioner of the Parks Department. 

“Thank you Mayor Adams. I am thrilled and humbled to be taking on this new role as Parks Commissioner, and I’m so pleased to be joining your administration — an administration that understands the important roles that parks play in the health and well-being of all New Yorkers,” Donoghue said at a Friday ceremony announcing her appointment.
