Fort Greene Park Renovation a Go!

As The Local reported yesterday, a $2.55 million renovation of Fort Greene Park has been green lighted and is set to begin in the next three months or so. The news was delivered by Marty Maher, the Parks Department’s Brooklyn chief of staff, at last week’s Fort Greene Park Conservancy board meeting. The plan calls for work to begin on the public bathroom later this spring with extensive landscaping and drainage work to follow in the fall. It’s expected that the work will address much, but not all, of the flooding issues that have plagued the park in recent years. There will be a chance for community input regarding future park improvements at a meeting at the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church on February 29th at 6 p.m.
