Newport Playground in Brownsville is set to receive first major renovation in more than 50 years.

On Thursday, April 7, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., the Parks Dept. is hosting a public input meeting where the future of the playground — its complete Community Parks Initiative transformation and reconstruction — will be discussed.

The meeting will be held at P.S. 41, at 411 Thatford Ave.

NYC Parks’ planners and designers will share information about the park and the capital process before turning it over to community members for facilitated brainstorming. Parks says community members have their voices heard and dictate shared priorities for new and renovated park features, such as water play features, playgrounds, sports courts and fields.
