The announcement was made by Friends Founding President Jessica Burke and Cord Meyer Vice President and Bay Terrace Project Lead Joe For\u00adgione.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of us at Friends of Crocheron &amp; John Golden Park are incredibly grateful to Cord Meyer for their continued support,\u201d said Burke. \u201cPartnerships like this make a meaningful differ\u00adence in our ability to maintain and improve the park. We look forward to kicking off another year together at the Cord Meyer Park Cleanup on April 25.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Open to all, the cleanup will take place from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., with participants meeting at the Tennis Court House at 215th Place and 33rd Road. The event includes free T-shirts and re\u00adfreshments for volunteers. Advance registration is encouraged at www.crocheronpark.org\/vol-regis\u00adtration.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1904, Cord Meyer Development is a Queens real estate owner and developer whose Bay Terrace Shopping Center is located less than one mile from Crocheron Park. The company recently announced plans for a new rental community at the center, to be built on un\u00adderutilized upper-level parking areas off 26th Av\u00adenue.<\/p>\n<p>According to Forgione, construction is ex\u00adpected to continue for approximately two years, with the center remaining open for business throughout. Visitors to upper-level tenants AMC, PM Pediatrics, Mito, and Five Guys are directed to use the shopping center\u2019s main entrance on Bell Boulevard and proceed directly to the parking garage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith construction underway at the Bay Ter\u00adrace Shopping Center, we are busier than ever, but it\u2019s important that we continue to support the community in meaningful ways,\u201d said Forgione. \u201cSponsoring Friends of Crocheron &amp; John Golden Park is central to that commitment. We\u2019re proud to play a role in the work Jessica and her team are doing, including the many events that bring the community into the park and keep it top of mind. That collective effort has helped bring renewed attention to long-needed park mainte\u00adnance, including the significant restoration of the twin gazebos secured by Councilmember Pal\u00adadino.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2020, Friends of Crocheron &amp; John Golden Park works in partnership with NYC Parks to support environmental stewardship, preservation, and community engagement throughout Crocheron Park and the adjoining John Golden Park.
