City announces $23.9M Bed-Stuy playground revamp
Community members, high-ranking city officials and elected representatives gathered on Monday to celebrate the dedication of the upcoming $23.9 million renovation of St. Andrew’s Playground in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The renovation is related to the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan (AAMUP), a draft zoning framework for a stretch of roughly 13 blocks along Atlantic Avenue and adjacent streets.
The project will completely renovate the playground, installing new play areas, upgraded sports amenities including a brand new track, flexible seating, storm resiliency infrastructure, ADA-accessible entrances and more.
