The Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) placed new picnic tables
and BBQ Grills
at Octagon Park
recently.
One resident expressed concern that the picnic tables could no longer be moved closer to each other allowing larger families and groups to eat and socialize together.
On the other hand, the stationary picnic tables may discourage any one group from using all the tables allowing more groups to enjoy the picnic tables.
RIOC also placed picnic tables next to the Blackwell Park
playground.
I had asked RIOC to place some picnic tables under the trees next to
Blackwell House
but RIOC said that due to the upcoming renovations of Blackwell House that would have to wait until next year.
Hope you enjoy the new Roosevelt Island Picnic Tables and BBQ Grills.
UPDATE 7:55 PM – New garbage cans
for Octagon Park today.
