Mayor Eric Adams
announced plans to upgrade to a historical Brooklyn park that’s
currently undergoing construction.
The Saratoga Park makeover will
include swings, a spray shower, a tot play area, ground games, new lighting,
and the restoration of the surrounding lawn.
“New York City’s parks aren’t
luxuries, but necessities — playing a critical role building community and
nurturing our physical, mental, and emotional health,” said Mayor Adams.
Saratoga’s upgrade is
partly due to Mayor Adam’s recovery plan.
“Parks can be the great
equalizers, which is why every New Yorker, regardless of zip code or
color, deserves access to a park. This $417 million investment to revitalize
over 100 parks, playgrounds, and greenspaces is a major milestone in our
recovery that will pay dividends for generations to come,” said Adams.
The multi-million-dollar
project is funded by the City Council and set for completion by 2023.
