The Park Board may override the veto.  I think it requires a 2/3rds vote.

If memory serves, the Park Board has a tradition of proving its independence
by always voting to override a Mayor's veto, even if the initial measure did
not pass by the required 2/3rds.

Is there an example of a mayoral veto which was sustained by the Park Board?
I can't think of one.
