Concrete Plant Park
Bronx
For years, Concrete Plant Park, located in the industrial southern section of the Bronx River, was a working concrete batch mix plant. It’s now a capstone project for the Bronx River Greenway.
In close partnership with community and public agency partners, the Parks Department and Bronx River Alliance have succeeded in re-establishing salt marshes on armored riverbank once strewn with trash and tires, conducted community festivals, and brought hundreds of people to the river in canoes.
The total cost for the project is $522,000, and the planned completion date is July 2008.
