Bronx Parks for the 21st Century
Construction of a water filtration plant for the Croton Water Supply System under the Mosholu Golf Course in Van Cortlandt Park has begun. As part of the agreement between the City and the Parks Department, more than $200 million generated from water and sewer revenue will be spent on improvements to more than 75 Bronx Parks over the next five years. The agreement represents a rare opportunity to invest more than triple what would be spent on Bronx’s parks over the next five years.
