Review for Nyc Parks Mounted Auxillary Unit Inc, New York, NY, USA
This not-for-profit has no overhead- all positions are filled by volunteers. The NYC Parks Department does not have the financial resources to support mounted patrols of the City's Parks.. Unfortunate since horse patrols have been shown to not only be the most effective, but also the most comforting to tourists. The volunteers patrol their assigned park all day, riding with either another volunteer or with a professional officer.
