That's such great news! I wonder if being so near that children's natural play area was a catalyst or not. I stumbled upon it once by accident long ago and thought what a gem, and damn shame its left to rot.
Are those 3 (or is it 2?) nearby cement ovals the former reflecting pools / model sailboat pools theyre talking about? Those need some love too. At one point I naively thought there must be a lever nearby to turn on the water and went looking for it
Annnnnd now I learned why I always see men, usually African American, walking around alone and eyeing me. Once propositioned by a guy I'd have assumed gangster "Hey white boy I'll take care of you real good". Didnt know if that was a threat of violence or amorous offer.
I have to hand it to whoever is in tasked with "reclaiming" this space in the Parks Department.
First, they deploy goats that bring in families to the area. Then, they set up pinwheels.
...much more effective than having the NYPD go head to head with them.
...pun intended

Truer words have rarely been written.

By the way, the renovations will take a while.
You may still have time to find him and give him a different response.
