This section of Riverside Park was first temporarily closed for repairs on September 28, 2019.
The construction work was part of a $1.5 million FEMA-funded reconstruction project addressing damage caused by Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
Work in progress in Riverside Park:
Sakura Park Stairs Reconstruction
Riverside Park 102nd Street Staircase Reconstruction
Riverside Park South Natural Turf Ballfield & Greenway Reconstruction

Oh, great. Yet another opportunity to be run over by a bicycle.
