Know Before You Go
There are currently 2 construction projects taking place in this park that are affecting access to its amenities.
This project at John F. Murray Park will convert the existing asphalt ballfield into a synthetic turf softball field located just west of the playground. This will include drainage system improvements, new ADA accessible dugouts and drinking fountains, a bike rack, and a misting station. It is part of the Asphalt-to-Turf PlaNYC project. Once the construction of the ballfields at Grover Cleveland Park ends, work at John F. Murray Ballfield will begin.
Anticipated Completion: Summer 2011
This project is for a new comfort station serving John F. Murray Playground bounded by 45th Ave., 24th St., 45th Rd. and 11th St. It will provide much-needed bathroom facilities in a popular area of the park.
Anticipated Completion: Winter 2012
