Manhattan’s Honey Locust Park just got a makeover!
The park’s new look was officially unveiled after undergoing close to nine months of renovations from January 2022 to September 2022.
“This project took perseverance and creativity,” said Assembly Member Bores. “I commend DOT, DEP, NYC Parks and all of those who advocated for years to enable this remarkable refreshing of Honey Locust Park, which will be enjoyed by nearby families for generations.” “Honey Locust Park gave a drab municipal equipment staging area a second life as a beautiful community gathering spot, and the modern reconstruction highlights the immense care and collaboration the City and the community have taken to continue improving the park,” said Manhattan Borough President Levine. “The value of this park to the community cannot be overstated.”
The renovated park now features benches, plaza space, pavements, landscaping and water service. Its new design also allows DOT access to perform maintenance and repairs to the bridge when necessary. The park provides an additional functional benefit to the surrounding areas as well.“Importantly, this new version of the park will also absorb the stormwater that falls on it which will help to relieve localized flooding and improve the health of the East River,” said DEP Commissioner Rohit T.
