In the summer, a Bronx fi tness
coach launched a petition
demanding new equipment at
Macombs Dam Park, after the
city’s Parks Department had
removed the exercise gear due
to its old age.
But months after Quincy
France’s urging, the city fi -
nally obliged to return the
equipment to the local park.
Renewable
generation for
every generation.

Last week, the Parks Department
installed 18 brand new
pieces of equipment, including
a fi tness overhead ladder, accessible
parallel bars, plyometric
box jump station, joint use
pull-up and chin-up station, a
multipurpose sit-up bench and
a jump height meter.
In July, Parks removed 13
pieces of equipment that they
had determined were worn and
unsafe for public use.
New York deserves clean energy.
That’s why we’re working to make
renewable energy more accessible
across the five boroughs, and
all the way up to Westchester.
