In every aspect of decision-making, the Prospect Park Alliance considers three inter-related elements: people, nature and design. The Alliance is dedicated to: serving all visitors by maintaining the landscape and facilities of the Park and engaging visitors with quality programs and services that are accessible to all; caring for the natural environment through sound management of native habitat, horticultural programs, and education; and preserving the Park's landmark design with appropriate restoration and excellence in new capital projects. 33 32 321 3422 0 0 5305795 5085394 3734585 4985234 124917 80165 38488 26072 9203785 10176865 0 0 0 0 5875689 4981499 127513 110703 1223393 4218695 6759361 10221897 11851563 -1018112 -1674698 19444598 18086388 4847157 4933358 14597441 13153030 In partnership with the City of New York and the community, the Prospect Park Alliance restores, develops, and operates Prospect Park for the enjoyment of all by caring for the natural environment, preserving historic design, and serving the public through facilities and programs. 0 0 2979533 0 3387341 Visitor Services and Events: Prospect Park Alliance serves the 9 million visitors to the Park by offering a variety of fee-based recreational activities, public and private events, and foodservice options.

Projects are taken through a design and approvals process, in partnership with the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation, and are then supervised during construction by the Prospect Park Alliance. Projects designed by the Prospect Park Alliance have won a number of prestigious awards. During the year ended 6/30/10, construction work progressed on the restoration of the lakeshore and the renovation of the Vanderbilt Playground. Construction was started on an artificial turf soccer field at the Parade Ground and the JFK monument at Grand Army Plaza was restored. Design of new bathrooms at the Parade Ground and at the Wellhouse continued and design of the Lakeside Center was largely completed. Design for the renovation of the Tennis House and the Garage Compound was started. 1338621 0 56752 Field operations and woodlands Prospect Park Alliance partners with the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation in caring for the natural environment contained within the Park. The Arboriculture Crew cares for the roughly 40,000 trees of Prospect Park, including almost 150 different species which make up Brooklyn's only forest. The Park provides priceless natural habitat for wildlife and for Park visitors, as well as a much-needed migration stop for thousands of birds. (Prospect Park has been designated an Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society.) The Park's 250 acres of natural areas are maintained and monitored year-round by the Alliance's Natural Resources Crew, which works with volunteers and the Woodlands Youth Crew to restore new sections in the Park designated as natural areas. The Natural Resources Crew also engages youth through its work with both the Woodlands Youth Crew and the Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment. During the fiscal year 2010, 622 trees were pruned, 1,663 trees, 2,500 aquatic plants and 2,810 shrubs were (continued from Part III Line 4c) planted. 130,000 square feet of lawns were also restored. Additionally, Prospect Park Alliance supplements the resources provided by the City of New York to maintain the Park. Specifically, the Alliance provides maintenance staff at the Parade Ground which was renovated and restored with public capital funds. The Alliance also supplements other maintenance functions within the Park. 994448 0 113850 Prospect Park Alliance offers educational programs to schools and to the public, teaching visitors about the natural world and its stewardship, helping to support the Alliance's mission to maintain the Park as a resource for New York City, especially those New Yorkers from underserved and low to mid-income neighborhoods. The Park's Audubon Center and Lefferts Historic House Museum provide important educational and cultural programming for both schools and the public. During fiscal year 2010, 85,112 people visited the Prospect Park Audubon Center and 47,506 people visited the Lefferts Historic House Museum. The total number of visitors to these two locations is slightly higher than the previous year. In addition, Prospect Park Alliance collaborates in a partnership with the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to support the Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment, a school now serving over 400 low-income students with graduation and Regents pass rates well above New York City averages. Prospect Park Alliance also engages the local community through various outreach programs. The Prospect Park Community Committee (ComCom) was specifically created to involve the local community in Park management. This Committee consists of representatives of more than 50 local organizations, as well as all of the elected officials (federal, state, and city) and community boards that represent the Park and surrounding districts. The Committee takes on an active advisory and advocacy role, representing the interests of Park users and the community while making recommendations for the function and future of Prospect Park. During regular meetings the ComCom discusses relevant issues of Prospect Park management, reviews all capital plans and programs, and has regular discussions with City agencies. Prospect Park also has a very active Volunteer Corps that is made up of community members who donate their time and energy and are critical to the ongoing maintenance and beautification of the Park. 994448 0 113850 10046548 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 68 0 1 321 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 33 32 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NY X X X Prospect Park Alliance Inc James Snow CFO / Sr VP for Capital 7189658951 95 Prospect Park West Brooklyn NY 112153709 Amy Klein Bender 2 X 0 0 0 Adrian Benepe 2 X 0 0 0 Emma Bloomberg 2 X 0 0 0 Henry Christensen III 2 X 0 0 0 Jane Cohan 2 X 0 0 0 William Coleman 2 X 0 0 0 Curtis Cravens 2 X 0 0 0 Robert Doar 2 X 0 0 0 Jill Eisenstadt 2 X 0 0 0 Fidel F Del Valle 2 X 0 0 0 Joseph Fishman 2 X 0 0 0 Alan M Goldberg 2 X 0 0 0 Richard T Greene Jr 2 X 0 0 0 Stephen K Hindy 2 X 0 0 0 Charles R Jacob III 2 X 0 0 0 David Jones 2 X 0 0 0 Jorge Juantorena 2 X 0 0 0 Mark Justh 2 X 0 0 0 Donald Kendall Jr 2 X 0 0 0 Andrew Kimball 2 X 0 0 0 Joan Kronick 2 X 0 0 0 Philip Li 2 X 0 0 0 Grace Lyu-Volckhausen 2 X 0 0 0 Marty Markowitz 2 X 0 0 0 Rachel McPherson 2 X 0 0 0 Leslie Puth 2 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Ryan 2 X 0 0 0 Claude Trahan 2 X 0 0 0 Nadia Wallace 2 X 0 0 0 Gina Ingoglia Weiner 2 X 0 0 0 Iris Weinshall 2 X 0 0 0 Brad Lander 2 X 0 0 0 Leslie L Beller 2 X 0 0 0 Albert H Garner 2 X 0 0 0 Mark A and Catherine Varous 2 X 0 0 0 Tupper Thomas 40 X 12239 0 0 12239 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ravine Construction Inc 149 Miles Avenue Staten Island NY 10308 Landscape restoration 1574933 Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects LLP 222 Central Park South New York NY 10019 Architecture 866531 Stantec Consulting Services Inc 50 West 23rd Street New York NY 10010 Civil engineering 181850 ICOR Associates LLC 485C Route 1 South Iselin NJ 08830 Mechanical engineering 147973 Digital Atelier LLC 60 Sculptors Way Mercerville NJ 08619 Sculpture fabrication 133000 6 2684 569988 521022 0 795456 3196244 137686 5085394 Visitor Services and Events 900099 3387831 3387831 0 0 Design and Construction 900099 1426801 1426801 0 0 Field Operations / Woodlands 900099 56752 56752 0 0 Education and Public Programs 900099 113850 113850 0 0 0 0 0 0 4985234 80277 0 0 80277 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25360 0 25472 0 -112 0 -112 -112 0 0 183900 521022 319729 -135829 0 0 -135829 276374 114473 161901 161901 0 0 0 10176865 5147023 0 -55552 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16475 0 16475 0 0 0 0 0 4140412 3157170 312988 670254 412 412 506797 407150 -8325 107972 317403 217918 60264 39221 30700 30700 110703 110703 4620324 4491230 34001 95093 195462 66146 27437 101879 49489 14766 10277 24446 380695 372971 7469 255 181220 181220 471314 454362 13787 3165 216063 187825 28238 Supplies and equipment 275761 235588 35179 4994 Fees and interest 211060 179979 4638 26443 Other costs 127273 80223 8082 38968 11851563 10046548 581622 1223393 244580 530234 6426380 8270007 7186669 3289744 424631 946348 0 0 0 0 0 0 17623 16513 44736 118904 5350161 2604312 3167339 2745849 1875649 2108845 0 0 56991 59944 19444598 18086388 1639492 1859862 0 0 364204 381588 0 0 0 0 0 0 2843461 2691908 0 0 0 4847157 4933358 X 1556187 2059411 11776452 9668773 1264802 1424846 14597441 13153030 19444598 18086388 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 3870616 7977860 5538119 5305795 5085394 27777784 0 0 0 0 0 0 469990 679610 1262120 792804 812466 4016990 4340606 8657470 6800239 6098599 5897860 31794774 3565252 28229522 79534 97362 111591 120123 80277 488887 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32283661 19202431 0.87442 0.86297 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 40432 40432 11811131 11851563 742578 185645 0 0 2458 6758 661095 742578 1412889 2119334 12288 33790 41125 40432 127635 615 1690 165274 185645 353224 529836 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X X X 0 2562936 374630 299349 0 0 0 3236915 3015042 100 -402206 0 50000 0 2562936 0.55 0.44 0.01 1 0 0 0 0 3728892 0 1349473 2379419 0 0 0 0 1564399 0 1237340 327059 56870 0 17499 39371 2745849 Security deposits 59944 59944 10176865 11851563 -1674698 230287 0 0 0 0 230287 -1444411 11244655 230287 821916 0 114473 1166676 10077979 0 98886 98886 10176865 12689066 821916 0 0 114473 936389 11752677 0 98886 98886 11851563 SchD_P03_S00_L01 Schedule D, Part III, Line 1 The Alliance maintains collections of historic reference materials and 18th and 19th century objects.
