SCHENECTADY – City and county officials and community members interested in creating a safe, recreational space on Crane Street showed off work on an expanded one-acre park that once sat in the shadows of six dilapidated buildings.
Mayor Gary McCarthy described Orchard Park on Crane Street in the Mont Pleasant neighborhood as a pocket park.
“But it was like a pocket inside of two pair of jeans, wrapped in a pair of overalls, and left in the wash for a couple of weeks,” McCarthy quipped.
