Our deepest appreciation to our NYC Parks Department!
From Helen Yanolatos (Deputy Chief of Staff to Manhattan Borough Commissioner Castro):
“We are happy to announce the latest improvement at Sara D Roosevelt Park – the installation of new artificial turf at the Lion’s Gate soccer field.
….The field will be reopened to the public on Monday. By using [Parks Department’s] own staff, we were able to complete this work much quicker (it took only eight days) and at considerable savings.
As you know, this is the second soccer field in the park that has been renovated in recent months.”
Parks staff also completed repairs to the Rivington Playground’s jungle gym equipment.
(more repairs on the way for the swing set area).
