ALBANY – Governor Hochul’s “Unplug and Play Initiative” urging people to get offline and go outside to enjoy the summer recreational opportunities is providing funding for three municipal projects in round two of the program.
The Village of Mamaroneck will receive $900,000 to renovate the Harbor Island Park Playground to replace deteriorating equipment with a safe, inclusive playground for children with all abilities.
The Town of Saugerties will receive $605,025 to develop a new summertime attraction at the Cantine Veterans Sports Complex for people of all ages and abilities.
A splash pad will serve up to 80 people at a time with a non-slip surface and various nozzles and features that spray, mist, rain, and shoot streams of water.
The Town of Hyde Park will receive $115,500 to rehabilitate the Hacket Hill Park Bathhouse. The project will include improvements to the building’s electrical and plumbing systems and incorporate accessible features.
“These grants will help communities with a range of projects to encourage New Yorkers to ‘Get Offline, Get Outside’ and enjoy healthy, active recreation.”
