Seth Low Ballfields Complete the $4 Million Renovation of Seth Low Park
BENSONHURST/GRAVESEND – The recently completed Seth Low ball fields on the corner of Stillwell and Avenue P had a grand opening yesterday.
“Seth Low Playground is centrally located near a library, senior centers, and several schools. It’s on the edge of my district but I promised that I would renovate every single park in my district,” said Council Member Greenfield.
“The reason I’m so committed to this is because everyone deserves a beautiful park for their quality of life, not just children but for everyone who lives in this community. That’s why I’m renovating all 13 parks and playground in my district.”
This was likely the last park ribbon cutting Councilmember Greenfield, who has invested $35 million to renovate every single park in his district. Seth Low was park No 8 to be completed.
This last phase of the four million dollar overhaul of the entire park was funded with $1.9 million by the Borough President and the Council Member.
“Seth Low Playground has been transformed from underused asphalt area into a beautiful park with amenities for all members of the surrounding community to enjoy,” said Commissioner Maher.
The new turf soccer and multi-purpose fields allow for a variety of active and passive recreational activities and are surrounded by a four-foot wide rubber track path.
The multi-purpose field is a perfect place for community movie nights and is accessible via a new ADA-compliant ramp.
Three-tier bleachers overlook the soccer field, providing an area for fans to cheer on players.
Benches between the two fields were added, along with drinking fountains, shade tree canopy, and landscaping.
Park is open to the public between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm.
