The city is at last starting up the acquisition process for the former Phipps playground, part of the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District.
The Department of Parks and Recreation is putting forth an application with the city to ultimately turn 50-02 39th Ave., the corner lot at 39th Avenue and 50th Street, into a community park. The site, measuring 10,000 square feet, is currently owned by DBH Associates, a private developer.
The application to the Department of City Planning will be jointly filed with the Department of Citywide Administrative Services for the site selection and acquisition of the parcel of land, a NYC Parks representative said at last night’s CB2 Land Use meeting.
The project must go through public review by way of the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure, where it will be reviewed by the community board, the Queens Borough president, and make its way to the city council, which could take until next year.

The park will now become as filthy as every other park and be camp site for the homeless. Enjoy it while you can.
I think they had better walk around city parks and take a look at how they are (not) maintained. A private entity could do twice the job at a quarter the cost.
Making it public will let in riff-raff.
Big mistake.
why does it cost $3M for this and how much money is going into JVB's war chest -
just thinking if JVB is being selected to replace Crowley by the progressive wing of the Democrats - which why he is not running for a real office.

That's all we need - out of the frying pan and into the fire.
