The NYC Parks & Recreation Dept has plans to build a state-of-the-art skateboard park facility at London Planetree Park, which for all my many years living in the neighborhood I've always known as 88th Street Park...In addition, there will be two full court basketball court, a walking path with adult exercise equipment, sitting areas and plantings of trees and shrubs...It should prove to valuable amenity to Ozone Park and a tremendous improvement to the asphalt softball fields currently occupying the area...
The funding stream for the new addition to the park comes from Borough President Helen Marshall ($1,000,000) and City Council Member Eric Ulrich ($600,000).
