Abstract/Contents: | Announces the 2011 opening of the restored six-acre East Meadow of New York's Central Park. Explains that "after a $3 million renovation that included removing 2,300 cubic yards of earth, replacing it with 3,330 cubic yards of new topsoil, new drainage and irrigation systems, new walking paths, benches, lighting, and a beautiful expanse of newly sodded Kentucky bluegrass, the East Meadow was described by one New Yorker who watched the transformation as 'beautiful.'" Notes that "it is estimated that over $550 million dollars was spent over the last 30 years [since 1981] to undertake the restoration, of which 80% came from private donations." Emphasizes the park's transition from barren fields of dust and litter to a viable expanse of fresh field. |
