We thank Nike for their contribution to our Park.

From the Lo-Down:

“City planning officials will finally go before CB3’s land use committee [TONIGHT!] to detail their plans for sweeping zoning changes across New York. As we reported this past spring, the plan known as “Zoning for Quality & Affordability” has raised alarm bells both in the preservation and affordable housing communities…”

Zoning affects our entire community: preserving our neighborhood and the full diversity within it. It also affects the heights of buildings that shade our park and other greenspaces!

When Milo finds out that his favorite city park is going to be torn down and replaced with a shopping mall, he seeks out the help of his two best friends, Odessa the Owl and Bucky the Squirrel. This educational performance will teach children the importance of shared community spaces as they sing along to songs that celebrate New York City!

The Coalition is proud of our Caroline Bragdon and her Department of  Health colleagues for her tireless efforts, no, jubilant efforts at eradicating rats in NYC!

We thank her in particular for her work in the Park. She was honored along with others in Public Service. It was a great night – inspiring to hear the dedication and

integrity of all the honorees (names and roles below).

Thank you!

At long last the ball field at Stanton Street is being replaced. The donor supplied materials but the field will not be named after them. Thanks donor! Thank you Parks Department!

Let’s hope we get the softball lines in too.

The field will reopen in mid-June
