Owls Head Park’s Unannounced Opening. Looks Good Far Away, Go In And See the Problems!
For weeks Owls Head Park has been quietly been used by children and teens who went through the hole in the fence. *No one has repaired the fence and stopped them.
Owl Head Park construction was supposed to be completed in February:
Over the weekend, many families were using the playground, and basketball courts at Owl’s Head Park. Parks Department employees were present in the park and didn’t ask them to leave.
There are signs in the park stating that it is not open yet, but the fences are down and the Parks Department employees aren’t fixing them:
An school drove a bus of children to the park for Passover. Schools have been going to Owls Head Park for years, especially during Passover. About 50 people were in the playground area, while others were playing basketball.
Since Bay Ridge has social media politicians, no one bothered having the barriers fixed. Hopefully, the park is safe for the early visitors.
Since the new park isn’t open yet, there were not enough trash bins, so the trash bins present were overflowing and trash was on the ground.
There are a lot of design problems at this park:
a) The fences are very low. A child can easily climb out!
b) There is no area for big kids.
c) There is only one slide now.
d) They removed a lot of the water play that families loved.
d) There are a lot less tress and shade in the park. There are a lot more benches for some reason.
