park renovations

Hundreds of kids use the park's courts for free tennis lessons from the City Parks Foundation.

The new amenities at Playground 52 should arrive by June 2017, according to the Parks Department.

The makeover starts next fall and will include new play equipment, a spray shower and fitness equipment.

Upgrades to the Paul Raimonda Playground will include a spray shower shaped like a Steinway piano.

School officials are calling for basketball hoops and better cleanup efforts at the park.

The project will include renovation of the gazebo and sprinklers.  

Parents say the old playground was prone to puddles and didn't have enough swings for older kids.

The proposed amenities are part of the Parks Department's 20-year master plan for the green space.

Residents cannot access Cpl. Fischer Park., located on Nelson Avenue in Highbridge.

Kids from a Bronx youth center painted Unity Park in August, but the city then painted over their work.

The board hopes to see more than $2.5 million in renovations at several parks in The Bronx.

The small park is located along East Burnside Avenue between Grand Concourse and Creston Avenue.

A group of children painted the park in August, but the city covered their work in September.

Children from Renaissance Youth Center had painted the walls at Unity Park a salmon color last month.

The $850,000 project to reconstruct the park's performance and seating areas began last summer.
