Shore Road Park and the promenade, Vinland Playground, John Paul Jones Park, Leif Ericson Park and Owl's Head Park will all see some improvements.
The New York City Parks Department, New York State Senator Andrew Gounardes and City Council Member Justin Brannan on Tuesday announced a new round of funding to improve the waterfront parks of Bay Ridge.
The funds includes $6.4 million for the construction of modern, accessible comfort stations at both ends of Shore Road Park, as part of broader efforts to revitalize the area, according to a press release.
The investments also cover upgrades to Shore Road promenade, Vinland Playground and John Paul Jones Park, along with new greenway enhancements at Leif Ericson Park and improved walking paths at Owl’s Head Park.
"The thousands of people across Brooklyn who use the promenade every day deserve nothing less,” said Gounardes. “Today, we’re ensuring the promenade and surrounding parks are built to meet all our communities' needs and stay safe, vibrant and resilient for generations to come.”
