Gentile obtains $2.5 million for Dyker Park field
The field at Dyker Park will be getting a makeover thanks to $2.5 million in city funding, according to Councilmember Vincent Gentile, who said he worked to make sure the money was included in the recently completed city budget.
“The soccer field is in deplorable condition and this funding will allow for new synthetic turf to be installed,” Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) said.
Gentile was also able to secure funding for the restoration of the track and athletic field behind Fort Hamilton High School in Bay Ridge.
The city budget also contains funding for cleanup projects in Gentile’s district.
