Mayor Eric Adams announced a new initiative called "Vital Parks for All," which aims to convert vacant lots in New York City into parks and green spaces. The initiative allocates $30 million to transform underutilized areas in Brooklyn's Community Board 5 and Queens Community Board 3, both of which currently lack such amenities. The plan includes submitting applications for zoning changes to acquire 44 potential sites for parks, enhancing community cohesion and providing much-needed recreational areas for residents.
These two applications cover 44 sites across both community districts, and that could be transformed into green space to serve thousands of additional New Yorkers.
Parks are important; they play a crucial role in the peacefulness of our communities where people can gather and really not only cross-pollinate in the flowers but cross-pollinate in communities.
