At the heart of Surfside Park’s transformative journey lies a vision that has come to life. To celebrate the steady progress of the 96th Street Park construction project, a Topping Off celebration took place on November 22, 2023, at the site. The celebration marked a pivotal moment in our project, where the collective spirit of collaboration took center stage, resonating through laughter and camaraderie throughout the park. Elected officials, project partners, and Parks & Recreation staff were present for the occasion. The symbolic raising of a beam into the sky served as a tangible testament to the combined efforts propelling our progress, infusing the atmosphere with an unmistakable energy of shared success.
Amidst the festivities, we had the opportunity to connect with fellow contractors and the dedicated project team, transcending the professional realm to appreciate the faces and stories behind the hard work. Bonds were forged that extended beyond project timelines, emphasizing that our endeavor was not merely about construction but also about the individuals investing their time and passion in shaping the future of Surfside Park. The new park is scheduled to open in 2024.
