"Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Parks Commissioner Tricia Shimamura allocated $50 million in new investments across 10 parks over the next year. The chosen parks span all five boroughs and will get new play equipment for kids, recreation amenities for all ages, and an array of new plants and shrubs for New Yorkers to take in as nature's eye candy."
"For many New Yorkers, the park is their backyard – a place where they can play a game of pick-up basketball, hold a picnic on the grass, or kick a ball with their kids. These New Yorkers know the difference between a park in disarray and a park that city government has invested in."
"City officials chose the following city parks for upgrades because they have not been updated in over two decades. They are also located in neighborhoods with the highest need, which officials based on poverty levels and population density and growth."
New York City announced a $50 million investment to improve 10 parks across all five boroughs through the Community Parks Initiative. Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Parks Commissioner Tricia Shimamura selected parks that have not been updated in over two decades and are located in neighborhoods with the highest need based on poverty levels and population density. The upgrades will include new play equipment for children, recreation amenities for all ages, and enhanced landscaping. The improvements will benefit more than 116,500 New Yorkers. Parks selected for renovation include Mott Playground in the Bronx, Van Dyke Playground in Brooklyn, and Roebling Playground in South Williamsburg, among others.
