Kolbert Park to get $4 million makeover
Greenfield holds ceremony to mark groundbreaking
A neglected Midwood park will be getting a $4 million facelift now that the city has given the go-ahead to the project.
Kolbert Park, located on Avenue L and East 18th Street, will be getting new swing sets, new climbing equipment and a new spray shower, as well as adult fitness equipment, a synthetic turf field and walking track, officials announced.
In addition, a multipurpose play area will also be reconstructed with two full-size basketball courts for teens from two nearby schools, Veretzky Yeshiva and Edward R. Murrow High School, who use the playground.
