Hunts Point Riverside Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Hunt's Point Riverside Park)
Hunts Point Riverside Park is the first new riverside park in the South Bronx, New York City in over sixty years, the first of a planned series of parks to be linked by a bike route, the South Bronx Greenway.[1]
Ground was broken July 19, 2004 on a US$3.2 million project to convert a vacant lot used as an illegal dumping ground into a 1.4-acre (5,700 m2) park.[2]
Before the planned park project, the site was an abandoned lot as part of a defunct Robert Moses-era bridge project.[1]
