Join NYC Parks and the Fort Tryon Park Trust in welcoming summer at Anne Loftus Playground in Fort Tryon Park! Anne Loftus Playground recently received a $4.2 million renovation, and is now ready to be enjoyed – just in time for summer! Enjoy live music and dance performances while you cool off in the brand new spray showers. There will also be games, crafts, giveaways, and face painters.
May 2021: After going through NYC Parks internal reviews, community input sessions, and the Community Board, the Public Design Commission gave final sign-off on the Anne Loftus Playground project. Construction will begin on August 23, 2021.
The playground redesign project received its full $4.2M funding from City Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez and is an example of the importance of City Council discretionary funding of public projects, especially in the parks, which rely on elected officials for their capital budget. We are grateful for the support of Councilman Rodriguez for the capital funding allocations to this project. Visit NYC Parks for more information.
