Brooklyn Borough Parks Commissioner Marty Maher and Council Member Rita Joseph recently toured Hamilton Metz Park, also known as Lefferts Park in Crown Heights, to assess its condition and discuss a potential redesign and investment in the space.

During the walkthrough, they discussed how the park is used and which improvements would most benefit families, young people, and neighborhood residents.

“As a longtime educator and parent, I understand the critical importance of positive alternative activities. We’re going to work to enhance and upgrade the park,” Joseph told COLlive.

An upcoming community meeting will give residents an opportunity to share their ideas and priorities for the park. Their input will help shape future plans. The date, time, and location will be announced soon, and all community members are encouraged to attend.

Joseph also recently secured a $21 million investment towards upgrading Wingate Park.
