Asmall group of Rockaway residents came together last Saturday to get one of the top parks in the borough, Tribute Park, ready for the summer season as part of the city's It's My Park Day.
Volunteers used the opportunity to clean weeds and dirt, and fill in the spaces between the bricks that lay in the park.
The cleaning of Tribute Park was one of the over 150 projects in neighborhood parks across the five boroughs. Also in Rockaway, the group Surfriders took to the beach at Beach 90 Street to clean up the area.

Among those pictured are Rockaway Parks Administrator Jill Weber; Nadia Murphy, who is a co-designer of the park and the chairperson of the Garden Club; and Delores Orr, the chairperson of Community Board 14. |
