Greenfield urges residents to take back 18th Avenue Park
Councilman David Greenfield is looking for local residents to join a new group he is forming to take care of a local park that has become a focal point of complaints from neighbors.
Greenfield recently met with community leaders to discuss problems at Gravesend Park, also known as 18th Avenue Park, and said one of the best ways to ensure the safety of residents is to have residents look after the park, located between 18th and 19th avenues and between 55th and 58th street. The goal is to prevent people from hanging out in the park after hours, a spokesman for Greenfield said.
The new group will be launched at a meeting inside the park’s main entrance on 18th Avenue and 56th Street on Aug. 14 at 7 p.m. In the event of rain, the meeting will take place at Greenfield’s district office at 4424 16th Ave.
