If I read this this correctly, it is LEGAL to launch a human-powered boat from a NY City park, as long as you don't launch into a designated swimming area:Boating.
No person shall land a boat of any kind other than a human-powered
boat, such as a kayak, canoe, rowboat or pedal boat, on any park shore
except at designated landing areas or in case of an emergency. No
person shall operate a boat of any kind, including jet-skis, upon any
waters under the jurisdiction of the Commissioner in a reckless manner
so as to endanger the life, limb or reasonable comfort of his or her
passengers or other persons. Boating in any authorized bathing area is
prohibited.If anyone wants to dig deeper, the Laws of the City of NY may be found at:http://24.97.137.100/nyc/
