The council member explains that the conditions at the Star Spangled Playground in Bushwick are poor, with rivets on the turf posing safety issues.
- Previous funding was allocated for renovations but the project has not been completed
- The Parks Department promises renovations will happen this summer
- But the council member is skeptical after previous delays
- The park space is heavily relied upon in this low-income area of the district

This is a turf that, like, has rivets in it that are bigger than me.

I mean, I'm not that big, but still the this was something that Liam Kavanaugh got funding for, and it's been a few years since he's worked on the parks department, and we still haven't actually seen the project done.

Park promise me it's gonna happen this summer, but frankly, I've been promised that it was gonna happen before.

It would be really great if you guys could follow-up with a crisp timeline because I'm worried about.

I think it's a safety issue for people who are out there, and it's a a green space that is relied on.

It's one of the lowest in comp portions of my district.

People really need that park space, and we hope we can get it fixed up soon.
