Parks Chief in Buffalo, N.Y., Has Long Wish List for City

Parks in Buffalo, N.Y., need $4 million in new play equipment, basketball and tennis court upgrades, shelters, fences, benches, bleachers, barbecue grills and other improvements, according to the city's parks chief.

Andrew Rabb, deputy parks commissioner, submitted his $4 million wish list for the city's parks and recreation facilities on Wednesday, following a summer-long inspection of most of Buffalo's 190 parks, playgrounds and recreation centers. But, as The Buffalo News reports, Rabb was quick to point out that he doesn't expect the city to make all the improvements in a single year. "There's no way we're going to get it all done at once," Rabb said following a meeting of Buffalo's accountability panel. "This is giving us a way to establish a phased-in plan."
