DETAILS:                     Join us to share your ideas for Brooklyn’s playgrounds and parks and learn about the potential to make it a thriving community space. We want to hear from you! If you can't attend in person, we will also accept online comments for a week after the community input meeting. Visit our Community Input Meetings page for a list of upcoming meetings and online comment periods.

                                   

                                    We need your input and feedback on local needs, and your ideas on how each Community Parks Initiative (CPI) park can better serve your neighborhood. The City is investing millions of dollars in improvements to six Brooklyn CPI sites including Thomas Boyland Park, Stroud Playground, Jesse Owens Playground, Saratoga Ball Fields, Ten Eyck Playground and Stockton Playground.

 

                                    CPI is a multi-faceted program to invest in under-resourced public parks located in New York City’s densely populated and growing neighborhoods with higher-than-average concentrations of poverty. To learn more visit our Community Parks Initiative page.
