Out of New York City's fifty neighborhoods, Jackson Heights, Queens has the least amount of public green space! The backyard of St. Mark’s Church (located on 82nd Street between Northern Blvd and 34th Avenue) may be available for purchase. 

Instead of allowing a real estate developer to build more residential housing—a development that would make our neighborhood even more crowded, and further tax local resources and infrastructure—let’s work together and lobby the City to buy the land for public use. 

Imagine having a local public green space! It might include: community gardens! play equipment! a dog run! a peaceful green area to relax and meditate. Please sign below to show your support—and please share this with all your friends and neighbors!
