Seeing this much momentum behind the restoration of the Baby Park shows how much this space really meant to our neighborhood. The path ahead feels heavy and long but knowing I am not fighting for this alone gives me the resolve to keep pushing.

I was born in raised in Queensbrige.1962. I have so many great memories of the Baby park. It was a place where we all came together in played. Had so much fun. Give the children today a opportunity that the children of QB deserve.
When I was a baby growing up in QB we had plenty of areas to play in but as time went on I have seen how the baby areas got pushed out and the basketball court became the dominant in the parks ... We do need to preserve a area for the babies to play and learn how to get along with each other and this will also help parents to identify who is of the community Especially if a child waunder off and become lost someone in the community will get that child back to his or her parent... Preserve the Park for the babies..
This should be a no brained. It was and still should be called “THE BABY PARK” If Not For You, Do It For The Babies Of Queensbridge. They Deserve A Environmentally Safe Place Where The Can Play And Bond With Each Other. It's Part Of The Problem Today. Kids Don’t Know Hiw To Be Kids Anymore. Sign This Petition And Take Back What Was Rightfully Ours And Our Children.
This place is a place of so many Memories I use to ride my bike down the side park do weelys down the walk play football in the grass before the destroyed it it was beautiful before played handball basket ball , Swings for adults & kids monkey bars. The baby Showers before the pool was ever thought of the Parkhouse had games knock hockey checker we made key chains.
This beloved park is a historical landmark for our Community. I went to Pre-kindergarten in this park. There was actually a school house, handball courts, and playgrounds for toddlers. It hurts me to see it being used as a "dumping ground", and no one has yet to invite members/residents for a sit down to have input into what they are doing back there. This is our HOME, and we need to be involved/consulted on all new developments happening in our Community.
I have so many great memories of the Big park and the Baby park. I hope this really happens
Restore the park for the kids!

I am definitely in full support of the petition because the baby park holds so many memories of me and my team it was the only basketball court we could play games and act out our dreams of the NBA players we admired because the courts were lower than regulation courts and we could dunk the ball and many of us were dunk masters.
