The New
York City Parks Department unveiled the newly renovated Wakefield
Playground to the community on Friday morning.
The
$5.2 million renovation was through the Community Parks Initiative.
The
Wakefield Playground is now decked out with all new equipment, two new basketball
courts, a junior soccer field and spray showers just in time to beat the
heat.
Kids
and parents from P.S. 16 were in attendance today, joined by elected officials.
Those
in attendance today say that a lot of parks and playgrounds in the Bronx need
the care and love that the Wakefield Playground received, and that this is just
the beginning.
