The $28 million first phase of a regional park in Far Rockaway, the fourth of eight regional parks proposed under PlaNYC, the city�s plan for a greener New York, has broken ground.
The project will create a 13-acre park stretching from Beach 11th Street to Beach 17th Street and Beach 28th Street to Beach 32nd Street and contain such amenities as a synthetic turf football field, a performance venue, a skate park, a central lawn area, a climbing wall and a variety of sports courts.
