A park in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx will soon get a much-needed makeover.

Poe Park will be getting new benches, lamp posts and more greenery around the gazebo area. Council Member Oswald Feliz was able to secure more than $3 million in funding for the improvements.

He says it will go a long way in transforming this outdoor space.

Councilman Feliz says that as a child, he has many fond memories of playing at the park. He says the way it has looked over the years has not served the community.

Feliz hopes to have construction start by the end of 2022.
