City unveils ambitious
enhancement scheme for
Bath Beach Park
UPGRADED: Bath Beach Park will most likely include a larger play area, spray showers, a
fi tness hub, and additional seating among other improvements after its renovations.
Parks Department
BY ROSE ADAMS
Park offi cials unveiled plans to install
three state-of-the-art playgrounds, a fi tness
hub, and a seating area for seniors
among a slew of other upgrades as part
of a $5.6-million renovation of Bath
Beach Park at a community meeting on
Monday.
Under the new designs, the park
at Bay 16th Street and Shore Parkway
would trade in the greenspace’s dilapidated
bocce court and beaten-down playground
for additional seating for elderly
park goers, along with new foliage, and
three play areas designed for toddlers,
pre-schoolers, and older children. The
revamped park would also include a
ping-pong table, chess tables, new ADAcompliant
pathways, and updated light
fi xtures.
And that’s not all! The designs also
call for a special fi tness corner equipped
with outdoor exercise gear perfect for
cardio and strength workouts, which
one Parks rep said will be the envy of
other city parks when it’s completed
sometime in 2022.
“You’re getting the Cadillac version
in terms of what’s happening in the
city,” the spokesman said about the fi tness
hub.
The park’s new design comes after
community members pushed back
on previous Parks Department design
proposal, which pitched adding a skate
park to the public plaza, which neighbors
complained was a little too radicle
for their taste.
“There were a lot of concerns about
the noise,” said Elias-Pavia. “The residents
and attendants were not very
happy with that proposal.”
But the schematics presented Monday
drew high praise from the board’s
parks gurus, who said the agency
managed to fi nd something for everyone.
“I think it has a little bit of everything,
and it’ll provide for different
age groups,” said Marnee Elias-Pavia,
the district manager of Community
Board 11.
Community Board 11 will vote on
the Bath Beach Park proposal at it’s full
monthly meeting in October, and the designs
will be fi nalized by the spring of
2020, parks authorities said.
The Bath Beach renovations are part
of a larger effort by Councilman Justin
Brannan (D–Bensonhurst) to revamp
southern Brooklyn’s public parks. Two
weeks ago, workers kicked off renovations
to Bensonhurst Park , but Brannan
said that’s just the beginning of his ambitions
for local parks.
“I have made it my mission to give
love to some of our most neglected parks
and playgrounds that haven’t seen a renovation
in many decades – especially in
Bath Beach and Bensonhurst,” Brannan
said. “This will just be phase one.
There’s more to come.”
