I actually live one block away from this park. I lived in this neighborhood for 28 years. Aqueduct 🚶♀️🚶♂️ walk has seen a major renovation. When i first came to Aqueduct walk it was a sad sight to see. The lights in the poles in the park where broken. It was totally dark at night. The park benches were missing parts and pieces.

Parks, when revamped, save lives, cut urban heat, and manage floods, but they demand our investment now. #ParksSaveLives
