The Fort Greene Park Conservancy will host a special public forum to outline current efforts to improve the historic 30 acre park.

The free forum will be held Wednesday, February 11 at Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, Jarvie Room, 85 S. Oxford Street (at Lafayette) from 7:30 to 9 pm.

The event features an informal conversation between community members and Conservancy staff that will highlight projects in the park, restoration of major lawns, and ways the community can get involved.  Attendees will hear from a panel of experts including the new Fort Greene Park Director David Barker, NYC Parks Department staff, and turf care experts from Central Park Conservancy who will be discussing their experiences managing Central Park and “best practices” for growing lush green grass in an urban environment.

The Fort Greene Park Conservancy, in partnership with the City of New York and the community, enhances the park’s function as the primary green space and strengthens the culturally diverse Fort Greene community by making Fort Greene Park the hub of neighborhood social gatherings through programming and park conservation.
