Brad Lander and Borough President Marty Markowitz have allocated a total of $950,000 for renovations. In October 2010, Brad wrote
I am very pleased to have allocated $600,000, along with an additional $300,000 from Borough President Marty Markowitz, to begin the renovation of Dome Playground (the nearest City park).  We look forward to working with diverse community members to plan a comprehensive, multi-phase renovation that will retain and improve current popular uses and offer new recreation uses in underutilized areas.
