Rye Town Supervisor Gary Zuckerman and New York State Senator Shelley B. Mayer held a ceremonial groundbreaking recently to kick off the reconstruction of the Crawford Park ballfield. This ballfield will provide the Rye town communities of Port Chester, Rye Brook and Rye Neck with an upgraded, refreshed and safe environment for play.
Mayer secured $200,000 in state funding to enable the town of Rye to reconstruct Crawford Park ballfield, which will be used for baseball, soccer, lacrosse, softball and volleyball games.
Zuckerman said, “I am pleased to thank Senator Mayer for obtaining this grant of $200,000 to renovate and reconstruct the Crawford Park ballfield…. This project furthers the town’s goals of restoring our infrastructure for the benefit of the residents of Rye Brook, Port Chester and Rye Neck….”
Mayer said, “I am pleased to join Rye Town Supervisor Zuckerman to break ground on the reconstruction of Crawford Park ballfield. It is so important that children and teenagers have the space to run, play and learn the value of sportsmanship and teamwork. I am proud to have been able to secure $200,000 funding from the State Senate to bring this ballfield to life.”
Zuckerman said, “Senator Mayer and I know that state funding here, and at Rye Town Park, go to worthwhile projects.”
