We at Park Renovations are starting this petition to raise awareness for this issue, and would like the city to repave the concrete at the park, more specifically at the hockey field. In addition, the water quality issues should be resolved, and there should be more garbage cans available, to reduce waste. The renovation is not covering the most important parts, and should be sped up as it is taking an enormous amount of with minimal results.

The petition directed specifically towards Joanne Amagrande and New York City Gov Parks. They are responsible for the quality of the public parks throughout the city and the current state of Dutch Kills Playground is not suitable for the numerous amount of children using it each day.

Reblog NYC Parks Inspection Program

We’ve done some research regarding the NYC Parks Inspection Program (PIP) and have found some interesting information. According to their website, the PIP is “a comprehensive, outcome-based performance measurement system that generates frequent, random, and detailed inspections of our parks and playgrounds”.
Delving deeper into the site, we found the inspection data of our park. The park was inspected earlier in January and they did not rate the Paved Surfaces, Safety Surfaces, Benches, and Horticultural Areas. Prior to these inspections, an interesting tidbit we found was that the Paved Surfaces seemed to always have an issue. To review this data yourself, you can visit the NYC Government Parks website or download this PDF.

The Dutch Kills Playground provides entertainment for numerous people, but these things endanger the safety of the park and make it unsafe for people to go to, especially smaller children.

Dutch Kills Playground

Dutch Kills Playground have been used by three different schools, it is utilized by students in PS 112, IS 204, the Baccalaureate School for Global Education, and Energy Tech High school.

This is Dutch Kills Playground

Even though there is a open field that has been utilized by the students in the Baccalaureate School for Global Education. The actual park used for the other school has been in construction for ages. We hope we can hasten the renovation and have them finish the construction by May.

I am the CEO of Park Renovations. My name is Niles W. and I am from New York. We at Park Renovations are a non-certified nonprofit organization. We strive to improve the overall quality of parks. There are innumerable amount of parks that have many flaws and are have no plans to fix them. These issues can be very major issues such as park safety. Furthermore, even with the parks currently being renovated, there are a lot of unfixed issues. A prime example of this being the quality of water in parks. We plan and strive to fix these issues. In addition, parks have an enormous amount of funding, yet take so long to renovate. There are numerous inefficiencies within this process, such as within building regulations. We at Park Renovations are trying to speed up these unnecessary inefficiencies.
