As you may recall, St Mary’s Park in the Mott Haven and Melrose neighborhoods was one of five city-wide parks that received $30 million for major improvements as part of NYC’s Anchor Parks Program—an effort to make sure neighborhoods of all socio-economic levels have access to quality green spaces.

This coming Tuesday, November 29th from 6:30PM-8:30PM at BronxWorks Betances Community Center at 547 E 146th Street (across from St Mary’s Park), New York City Parks Department wants to hear from YOU on your ideas for making St Mary’s a better place for all.

Spanish language translators will be available as well as refreshments and children’s activities so please bring your entire family as well as friends and neighbors. This is the perfect opportunity to have your voices heard on what the community needs in terms of park improvements.
