Pick the Parks Mascot!

The potential for snarky lulz is endless.....I personally think the Union Rat should be the offical mascot of the entire city...

Pick the Parks Mascot!

Parks is expecting! That’s right, we’re preparing to add another member to our diverse yet close-knit family of environmentalists, scientists, urban planners, outdoor enthusiasts, athletes, artists, historians, wildlife experts, educators, park volunteers, and more. Although we’re ready to embrace our special someone, we first need your help in creating him or her.

Who—or what—should be the official mascot of the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, and what is its name? Is it Nutty the Squirrel, Hudson the Hawk, or Parker the Leaf? Is it another animal, person, or object, or a previously unknown creature that emerged from the depths of New York City’s 29,000 acres of parks, gardens, and forests?

Submit your Parks mascot name and concept, and you may win the pride and glory of helping to create a City icon!
