Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and State Assemblyman Steve Stern recently unveiled new playgrounds in Plainview-Old Bethpage Community Park and at Roundtree Drive Park. These new playgrounds replace outdated sets, and are funded through a joint partnership between the Town of Oyster Bay and New York State. Assemblyman Stern secured a $250,000 grant to help construct these new playgrounds.

Supervisor Saladino stated, “Continuing improvements to our parks and recreational facilities have been a top priority for my administration, and we graciously thank Assemblyman Stern for securing our fair share of State funds to construct new playgrounds in the community. Together, we are committed to ensuring our parks have safe and enjoyable recreational opportunities for children to play and make friendships that last a lifetime.”

Outdated playgrounds at these parks were replaced with new, state-of-the-art playgrounds that include swings. The Saladino administration has a record of investing in playground upgrades, with over 80 being replaced with new sets since taking office. These new playgrounds, along with turf field upgrades and other enhancements at parks throughout the Town of Oyster Bay, have earned the Town Board recognition for investing in quality-of-life initiatives.

“I am so proud to partner with Supervisor Saladino and our local leaders in the Town of Oyster Bay to provide resources for new state-of-the-art recreational facilities in the community,” Assemblyman Stern said.  “I look forward to continuing our partnership and delivering our fair share from Albany to enhance and protect our suburban neighborhood quality of life.”
