There is no specific rule that bans smoking in parks. However, you are not allowed to smoke in some parts of the park, including playgrounds, all indoor areas, zoos, sports arenas, children’s institutions, or any of our 54 outdoor pools. This is part of the New York City Smoke-Free Air Act and the New York State Clean Indoor Air Act.
