Crotona Park Revitalization Community Support


Crotona Park Revitalization Community Support
The Issue
Crotona Park is in need of restoration and revitalization. The park belongs to the people to enjoy. In order to enjoy the park, our community must have a clean, flourishing place to be when they enter the park. We want to show Mayor Eric Adams that the Crotona Park community cares about the revitalization of Crotona Park. For more than one hundred years, Crotona Park has been one of the most important public parks in the Bronx, a sanctuary of rolling grass, lofty trees, baseball diamonds, a pool, and a peaceful lake. It is the largest park in the South Bronx and the sixth largest in the borough. Unfortunately, the rolling grass, lofty trees, baseball diamonds, pool and peaceful lake are all in need of repair and revitalization. The good news is there is a Plan: Restoration of Indian Lake into a nature destination with boat rentals and a café on the terrace, Conversion of the Crotona Park pool building into a year-round recreation center, A shady and attractive park perimeter with welcoming entrances, Sitting areas and outdoor exercise equipment with special provisions for seniors, Scenic paths that make it safe, easy, and fun to cross the park, even at night, A pedestrian bridge that crosses Crotona Avenue, A scenic loop for strolling or jogging, A lakeside picnic house for rentals and cultural activities, Safe bicycling routes to Crotona Parkway and, the Bronx River greenway, A 1/8 mile running track, A skate park, A dog run, Three reconstructed playgrounds, Three comfort stations, One full size synthetic surface football/soccer field, The New York Junior Tennis and Learning Center, Enhanced landscape beauty and forest health, A park maintenance area with secure vehicle storage. This Plan is possible with your help. Sign on to support the Crotona Park Revitatilization Community Support Petition.
