Next up ~ Reimagine Playgrounds at Kinsborough Houses in Brooklyn on Thursday, October 22 at 3:00pm. This is a virtual meeting ~ NYC Parks, in conjunction with the NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA), join with community members to participate in a visioning and planning meeting to discuss the reconstruction of two playgrounds in the Kingsborough Houses complex. This is a virtual meeting. Register Here.
NYC Parks will join community members virtually to participate in visioning and planning meetings to discuss four reconstruction projects in the borough: Linden Park Multi-purpose Play Area and Linden Park Playground in Brownsville and John J. Carty Park, Vinland Playground, and Owl’s Head Park Playground in Bay Ridge. These projects represent a more than $20 million investment in Brooklyn parks.
By launching virtual community input meetings, NYC Parks is re-imagining community outreach in response to the need for social distancing during the current COVID-19 pandemic. These meetings are open to the public and will provide an opportunity for New Yorkers to voice their ideas on design enhancements in their neighborhoods.
