In October 2020, Bay Ridge Children Redesigned Owls Head Park with NYC Parks….
Three years ago, children in Bay Ridge went to a NYC Parks meeting over Zoom to help redesign Owl’s Head Park. (Info from October 2020 meeting here)
It’s 2023 and Owls Head Park park did not receive the new equipment.
By the time Owls Head Park receives a makeover, the children who designed it will be too old to play in the playground.
The scheduled park projects stop the Parks Department from maintaining the equipment at the park.
Andy shared these photos on September 3, 2023 because the park is not being maintained!
Some parents with small children stopped going to this park because the equipment is not safe (nails sticking out).
Tonight, Community Board 10 Parks Committee did not mention the poor condition of this children’s playground.
So much money is being thrown at park projects and tonight NYC Parks said they aren’t able to handle that many projects.
Parents in Bay Ridge shouldn’t have to take pictures and keep reporting broken equipment when they are spending time with their families. Manhattan parks are beautifully maintained!
Hugs,
