Explaining the Work of the City Parks Foundation

Since July 2021, Steven C. Beer has served as a partner in the New York offices of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, LLP. Concentrating his practice on the film and music industries, he provides legal counsel and helps producers negotiate rights deals for film and television projects. Outside of work, Steven C. Beer is a trustee of the City Parks Foundation.

In 1989, the idea for City Parks Foundation was formed by Kramer vs. Kramer author Avery Corman. Concerned with the park’s state where he grew up, Corman started searching for ways to reinvigorate it so new generations could enjoy it as he had. This mission evolved into Avery working alongside other New York residents with similar concerns, forming a foundation dedicated to offering special programming that encourages people to visit New York’s many parks.

Today, City Parks Foundation operates over 400 park programs per year through its network of 26,000 volunteers. Its sports programs, performance events, and park improvement programs reach over 300,000 residents annually. The foundation also provides 12,000 children with access to soccer, fitness, tennis, and golf training and facilities.
