In Yonkers, Mayor Mike Spano announced renovations for several parks, including Georgia Avenue, Grant, Trenchard, and Pelton parks, to modernize playgrounds, landscaping, and basketball courts.
In Brooklyn, recreational upgrades include a $2.89 million investment in basketball courts at locations such as Fish Playground, Jackie Robinson Playground, and Sunset Park, a project involving the New York Liberty, the Brooklyn Nets, and the Joe and Clara Tsai Foundation.

This includes $14 million for the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and the Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network.
