NYC Wilderness in Parks NYTimes

….Kelly Bamfo, 18, was helping lay another part of the trail. He said it was so quiet that he felt as if he was somewhere far away from the city. “When I come out here, I don’t hear the car honks and the trains and the people screaming and yelling,” he said.

If he was not working at the park, he said he would probably be playing video games with his friends… “I feel like I’m growing,” he said. “I realize now my world is not just about being inside, new apps and new games and things. There’s more to life than just technology.”
