Staten Island Greenbelt

Protected Landscape and Seascape

The Staten Island Greenbelt is a system of contiguous public parkland and natural areas in the central hills of Staten Island, one of New York City's five boroughs. It is the second largest component of the city's park system and is maintained by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation together with the nonprofit Greenbelt Conservancy. It includes several component parks, among them High Rock Park, LaTourette Park, the William T. Davis Wildlife Refuge and Willowbrook Park. Disclosed low confidence: the fetched lead names no single explicit IUCN category, so Protected Landscape and Seascape is a closest fit.
