"City Hall announced this week that 10 neighborhood parks across all five boroughs will receive a combined $50 million in capital upgrades through the city's Community Parks Initiative, an equity-focused program that works to improve green spaces in historically underserved communities. The projects are expected to benefit more than 116,500 New Yorkers who live near the selected parks."
"Since launching in 2014, the initiative has targeted parks in neighborhoods that haven't seen meaningful capital improvements in at least 20 years, focusing on areas with higher poverty rates, dense populations and rapid growth."
"The renovations will be shaped through community input, but typically include new playground equipment, upgraded recreation areas, additional seating and greener landscaping, all features meant to make the spaces more welcoming and usable for all ages."
