We will finish painting the fence around the sprinkler this Friday, June 25th from 5-8pm. There is only about half the fence left to paint, so it should be a leisurely good time. Pizzas will be ordered to munch on. (Look forward to more flower planting in early July.)
The Ping Pong table returns! Today or tomorrow the table that graced Take Back Our Park Day will be re-installed. Thanks again to Henge Tables and Alan Good for working with us on this. We still need to fund-raise for this, but will get back to you with details about this.
Lastly, The Lo-Down covered the Hester St Playground’s ribbon-cutting ceremony last week. They report that Council Member Margaret Chin “playfully encouraged [Parks Commissioner] Benepe to publicly throw his support behind another park project, the revitalization of Luther Gulick Park, on Willett Street.” We greatly appreciate Ms Chin’s continued support. I was invited as an official representative of the Friends of Gulick Park and we were mentioned in the opening address by Commissioner Benepe. We’d like to thank Parks for the recognition and exposure.
