Earth Day at Loreto Park
By Robert Press
The Morris Park Business Improvement District held an Earth Day event in Loreto Park in Morris Park. On hand were BRAC, Bronx River Arts Center, Urban Park Rangers, members of Community Board 11, and others. The cool cloudy weather kept some people away but those who came were treated to several surprises. The rear section of Loreto Park however has many cracks in the asphalt where grass is coming up, and the safety pads below the swings and slides are coming up as seen in the photo below.
In the photo are the Executive Director of the Morris Park BID Carmelia Tepelus, Community Board 11 members Christine Culpeper and Cynthia Rodriguez, and Friends of Pelham Bay Park President Nilka Martell.
The Urban Park Rangers were giving out seedlings and advice on how to care for them.
The area by the sprinkler has many cracks in the asphalt, a few where grass is growing in the cracks.
