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.
