The city is investing $50 million to rebuild 10 parks across New York City

The upgrades target historically underserved neighborhoods in all five boroughs

Improvements may include new playground equipment, seating, picnic areas and expanded green space

The work is part of the Community Parks Initiative launched in 2014, which has already completed 70 park projects citywide

The initiative, launched in 2014, targets parks in communities deemed to be historically neglected across all five boroughs, rebuilding outdoor spaces with new play equipment, seating, picnic areas and other upgrades.

“For many New Yorkers, the park is their backyard — a place where they can play a game of pick-up basketball, hold a picnic on the grass or kick a ball with their kids. These New Yorkers know the difference between a park in disarray and a park that city government has invested in,” Mamdani said in a statement.

The mayor added that the improvements will allow more than 100,000 New Yorkers to experience “a healthier, cleaner and more accessible city.”

Over the past decade, the city has completed 70 projects through the program and has another 47 underway, according to City Hall. The 10 sites announced Thursday would bring the total number of active projects to 57.
