Breaking ground on soundview park

On Mon­day, June 18, Bronx Bor­ough Pres­i­dent Ruben Diaz Jr., joined Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Parks Com­mis­sioner Adrian Benepe and other elected offi­cials to break ground on improve­ments to Sound­view Park. Sound­view Park is one of the eight regional parks being trans­formed under PlaNYC, the City’s long-term plan for a greener, greater New York. The work at Sound­view Park will include the con­struc­tion of more than $15 mil­lion in new ameni­ties, includ­ing a track and field with a syn­thetic turf soc­cer field, a play­ground, sports court, com­fort sta­tion, and out­door amphithe­ater with an over­look and access path.
