The gaps · Los huecos

Where the gaps are.

Five playgrounds across a city of 28,649 people is not enough. Roughly one in four Newburghers lives in a part of the city the Scenic Hudson inventory marks as underserved by parks. The South End between Lake Street and the river. The blocks east of Robinson Avenue. The corridor along South William Street north of the Aquatic Center. We are mapping where new playgrounds could go, what they would cost, and how to fund them.

South End

Limited play infrastructure for a dense residential area.

Robinson Avenue corridor

A walkable, transit-served stretch with no nearby playground.

Quassaick Creek edge

Future creek-side park potential.
