De Blasio prioritized parks. Parks without Borders and the Community Parks Initiative were both under him and, at least in my opinion, it was a Renaissance for improvements to existing parks and construction of new parks.

I wouldn't agree with that. De Blasio's admin was just as interested in cutting Parks' operating budget in exchange for more police OT as Adams' is. Parks has consistently been the agency that is just cut to the bone on operations money every cycle and then cut some more. Even those programs were accompanied by drops in staffing.
