Dear Mayor DeBlasio, New York City Council, and Chancellor Porter:We write to you today, as parents, PTA members, and community members near PS 130 and other affected schools/communities, to urge you to adopt the City Council’s recommendation [i] of including funding (approximately $1.8M) to open 23 Trust for Public Land schoolyards to the public during after school hours, on weekends, and on holidays.This investment will open schoolyards across the city, like the one at P.S. 130 The Parkside Lower School at 70 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218, to the surrounding community, providing vitally needed open space.The P.S. 130 schoolyard was designed by and for the students and community as part of the Trust for Public Land’s NYC Playgrounds Program, a longtime partner of the DOE, SCA and DEP, and opened officially yesterday, June 16, 2021.This beautiful $855,000 renovation includes a turf field, running track, game tables, a drinking fountain, new play equipment, basketball practice hoop, a pre-K area and playhouse, shade trees, and color seal art designed by students.The schoolyard, with custodial funding, could be a refuge for our children and families after an incredibly difficult and stressful year.We urge you, the New York City Council, and the Chancellor in the strongest possible terms, to support the allocation of custodial funds that would allow this public asset to be open, adding it to the 200-plus Open Playground sites that already provide neighborhood access.This is a small investment that pays big dividends in community health, equity, and climate resiliency that we urge you to prioritize in setting your budget for next year.For the sake of our community’s wellbeing, please allocate the funds needed to keep this playground, and others like it, open to our community.[i] This allocation is noted in paragraph 1, page 18, of the City Council’s Preliminary Budget Response for FY22.

Windsor Terrace Library is preparing to reopen July 19 after an extensive HVAC replacement, an upgrade to the electrical systems, and a cosmetic refresh of the interiors. Thank you for your patience as we safely improve library services. Please check our location map for open branches.
Starting July 19, patrons will be able to pick up and return books, browse the collection, access technology, and participate in outdoor programs.
A rooftop antenna has also been installed on Windsor Terrace Library to extend its free wireless internet signal 300 feet into the neighborhood.
The branch closed for renovations on February 2, 2019. The projection at that time was that the building would be closed for one to two years. Factors that interfered with a smooth and consistent flow of work were the poor condition of the roof and the two-month moratorium on nonessential construction because of the COVID-19 pandemic.Later this summer, outdoor furniture will be installed so library patrons can sit outside, use the Wi-Fi for work or school, and connect safely with friends or co-workers.
