Town to upgrade playgrounds in parks The Town of Oyster Bay has received a $250,000 grant from New York State for the Town of Oyster Bay to build new playgrounds. These grant funds will be utilized to replace outdated playgrounds with new ones in Plainview-Old Bethpage Community Park and at Roundtree Drive Park. Playgrounds at these parks will be replaced with new, state-of-the-art playgrounds that include swings. Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “Continuing improvements to our parks and recreational facilities have been a top priority for my administration, and we graciously thank Assemblyman Stern for securing our fair share of State
funds to construct new playgrounds in the community. Together, we are committed to ensuring our parks have safe and enjoyable recreational opportunities for children to play and make friendships that last a lifetime.” “I am so proud to partner with Supervisor Saladino and our local leaders in the Town of Oyster Bay to provide resources for new state-of-the-art recreational facilities in Plainview,” New York State Assemblyman Steve Stern said. “I look forward to continuing our partnership and delivering our fair share from Albany to enhance and protect our suburban neighborhood quality of life.”
