Why Didn’t Vinland Park Open When Councilman Justin Brannan Said It Would?
In September 2021, Councilman Justin Brannan announced that Vineland Park at 95th Street and Shore Road would receive some much needed renovations and updates.
Covid set 3.4 million design back, but it seems to have fallen behind even more. Update: It’s November 2024 and the park didn’t open.
In September 2023, Brannan said the renovations would begin and Vinland Park would open in the Summer.
In August 2024, Justin Brannan said Vineland Park would open in early September. Summer ended in September 2024 and the park didn’t open.
In October 2024, Councilman Brannan said the park will open in November.
From the outside, this park looks a lot better than other ones Brannan has recently done (very cookie-cutter – nothing special like other parks that were recently redesigned).
Someone needs to question how the millions of dollars put aside for parks in our area gets us kit sets and never looks like one of these cool parks??
Hopefully, it has regular-size swings for children. This Summer, the FDNY had to be called to a Bay Ridge Park because a teen got stuck while swinging in a baby swing.
Why would a politician not makes sure that swings were included in the design? When they don’t have children, they don’t care. All they care about is taking the photo in front of the place.
