Gale Brewer Manhattan Borough President Letter on the State of Sara Roosevelt Park

Grateful to the Borough President Gale Brewer and her staff, Brian Lewis, for standing with the neighborhood in this harsh time, funding the Rivington Playground and the Stanton Building renovations.

And especially for this letter of support for the park. It is thorough. And kind.

Also grateful to Council Member Chin and her staff Gigi Li and Pat Olan, for advocating for needle boxes for this park, tracking the MTA work and the funding to renovate the Rivington Playground and the Stanton Building.

Thank you to District Manager Stetzer for relentlessly advocating for needle boxes for this park.

Thank you to Jamil Phillips, Park’s staff, the 5th Precinct, Goddard and Alliance, and all our volunteers (housed or not) and gardeners in this Park who go above and beyond.

For a glimpse of the years of activism on behalf of the search Stanton Park House, Stanton Building, Design Trust, etc
