New York- Grand Avenue Playground es parte de una larga tradición de parques recreativos en la ciudad de Nueva York, donde la comunidad participa de diferentes actividades recreativas con sus niños todos los veranos. Este emblemático parque ha sido totalmente renovado y restaurado para el disfrute de todos los sectores de la comunidad.
El referido parque cuenta con un nuevo diseño multigeneracional y con nuevas áreas de juegos para los niños. Grand Avenue Playground está ubicado en la calle 181st West entre Grand Avenue y Davidson Avenue en el Bronx NY.
"Estoy feliz de que en un año, el trabajo haya sido completado y este espacio haya sido restaurado a la comunidad para recreación y disfrute pacífico", dijo el concejal Cabrera. "El nuevo diseño multigeneracional invita a todos, el equipo del patio de recreo es alegre, atractivo e innovador. Estoy orgulloso de haber proporcionado $ 2, 690,000 para este proyecto. Grand Avenue Playground es un tesoro comunitario y ejemplifica cómo los vecindarios pueden ser transformados cuando los residentes se unen en un espíritu de comunidad”.

Council Member Fernando Cabrera: NYC PARKS COMPLETES $2.6 MILLION TRANSFORMATION OF GRAND PLAYGROUND IN THE BRONX
Publicado Por Jose Zabala
Bronx-NY- NYC Parks Commissioner Mitchell J. Silver, FAICP, joined Council Member Fernando Cabrera and children from Trabajamos Community HeadStart yesterday to cut the ribbon on a completely reconstructed Grand Playground.
This renovation—fully funded by Council Member Cabrera—has transformed the park, which now includes a basketball court at the lower level, play areas for children of different ages, and two new entrances providing separate access to the basketball court and to the playground. Additionally, a senior seating area and spray shower have been added to the park. “NYC Parks is working tirelessly to make sure Bronx communities have access to beautiful, top-notch parks,” said Commissioner Silver. “Grand Playground has long been in dire need of repairs, but we went beyond repairs and completely transformed this space—and we did it ahead of schedule. We couldn’t have done it without Council Member Cabrera, who secured the funding for us to make these renovations.” “I’m happy that in one year, work has been completed and this space has been restored to the community for recreation and peaceful enjoyment,” said Council Member Cabrera. “The new multigenerational design is inviting to all, the playground equipment is cheerful, inviting and innovative. I am proud to have provided $2,690,000 for this project. Grand Avenue Playground is a community treasure and exemplifies how neighborhoods can be transformed when residents come together in a spirit of community.” This playground takes its name from the adjacent Grand Avenue, which runs parallel to the Grand Concourse. Parks acquired the original .26-acre plot on July 17, 1979 and on June 18, 1987 it was named Grand Avenue Playground. An adjacent .11-acre piece of land along West 181st Street was assigned to Parks on September 14, 1995. http://www.nyc.gov/parks |
