Parks Committee Meeting

September 3 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm

Held in person at CB10 office on 8119 Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and on Zoom 

Agenda

Request to rename Coffey Square located at 81 Street and 7th Avenue to Coffey-Wilson Post 688 Square. This request was prompted by the merger of two American Legion posts that locally honor heroes from WWI and WWII. The Commander of Coffey-Wilson Post 688 is seeking a letter from Community Board 10 to be sent to Dept. of Parks supporting this change.

 

Renewal notification of concession for the sale of food for mobile food unit at Owl's Head Park, Colonial Road at 67th Street and 68th Street from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2030
