A New Kensington neighborhood park that was cleared out recently won’t remain empty for long.
New play equipment is coming to Summit Street Park, city Councilman Dante Cicconi said.
The park in the city’s Mount Vernon neighborhood is one of the city’s five neighborhood parks. One of the others, JFK Park, received new equipment when it was moved from one side of city hall on 11th Street and rebuilt nearby on Fourth Avenue.
“We see the value of these neighborhood parks,” Cicconi said. “All these parks need work. We’re trying to maintain them as best we can.”
