According to an Adrian Benepe interview on NY1, the Parks Dept has not lost funding, and they are not going to stop building new parks just because there is a recession. They've learned the mistakes of the past and will not repeat them. Parks are a necessity, not a luxury, says Mr. Benepe.But that apparently only applies to certain neighborhoods and not others, as we have witnessed.

Its sad that is true, but Queens doesn't have a voice and every time someone trys to stand up they are undercut and called a loose cannon.
Look at Flushing Meadows. Look at St Saviours. Look at the Gas Tanks. Look at the Millstones.
Talk about fiddling while Rome burns !
They still drone on about attracting one million new residents and sprucing up parks for them while presiding over the closing of yet another two large hospital complexes in the past few months.
Shouldn't Bloomberg be orchestrating the construction of a half dozen new hospitals to serve those million new people, rather than shutting down the existing medical infrastructure of the city ?
That tie is all wrong! Mercy!
When are they ever going to complete Elmhurst park formerly known as Gas Tank Park. It's taking forever......
His poor father !
Staten Island doesn't need any more parks but yet the Parks Dept keeps sprouting them up all over. It is a shame that this Parks Commissioner and the Mayor don't maintain the parks they do have, they just want to build more and more of them. Makes no sense.
Bob Hardt, the producer of the NY1 political unit, lives in Queens. So why didn't Hardt ask Benepe the hard-hitting question about the lack of new parks in Queens?
