From NY1:A new study obtained exclusively Wednesday by NY1 shows dangerous conditions at city parks have gone unfixed for too long.
Investigators for State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli found it sometimes took weeks to correct about 50 percent of the hazardous conditions it surveyed in parks across the five boroughs.
One of the parks listed in the report was the Astoria hockey rink where walls were splintered and had dangerous bolts exposed.
Officials say the conditions were observed more than a month after it was supposed to be fixed. On Wednesday, there were still jagged places in spots.

Well, be fair. Its Astoria .... which is being hollowed out.
How about nicer communities, say Hunters Point and the Queens waterfront, where the good folks of Astoria are paying taxes to help prep those communities for developers who are making lots of money.
Look at 2 Coves - $250,000 of dirt brought in...or so they say.
best in the world?!?!
HA!
That's the kind of attitude that our gov't is infested with. How dare you criticize NYC, we're the best!
um - no we're not - not for a while now...take a look around
i'm sure the same level of (non)maintenance will take place at the high line, right?

Do these people ever get out of town? NYC's such a slum compared to other American cities. Check out the parks in Chicago and Seattle.
Kissena is filthy and scary - there are a lot of homeless people living near the trails in the wooded area. Charming Francis Louis Park has a beach that's strewn with garbage. All over Queens the Parkies are chain-smoking and blabbing on their phones. I hope they're doing community service and not getting paid to stand around and do nothing!
