Under Construction

There are currently 2 construction projects taking place in this park that are affecting access to its amenities.

Portions of the Allen Shandler Recreation area are closed. We are reconstructing the existing picnic area with new picnic tables, grills, plantings, pathways, and split rail fencing. ADA access will be provided for the existing comfort station, new drinking fountain and picnic tables.
Anticipated Completion: Fall 2009

Some of the Parade Ground athletic fields are closed in the northern section. We are reconstructing the Parade Ground fields and the Van Cortlandt Stadium field. A new synthetic turf field for soccer and football has been installed in the stadium. The parade grounds will have cricket fields, soccer fields, and baseball fields with in-ground irrigation. A portion of the cross country running track will be resurfaced and realigned. This project will be built in two phases to allow the public use of some fields during construction.
Anticipated Completion: Summer 2010
