26-191 : Nowakowski - Calling for Bond Resolution for Father Conway Park Playground

This resolution calls for the City of Buffalo Common Council to advance capital improvements for the Father Conway Park Playground, located in the Old First Ward. The project aims to upgrade the playground to meet modern safety and accessibility standards while respecting the park's historic nature. The Adopted 2026 Capital Budget has allocated $100,000 for these improvements. The city also intends to seek additional funding from Erie County through its Community Benefits Program or Urban Initiatives Program, in partnership with Legislator Lawrence J. Dupre. The resolution requests the Department of Public Works and Division of Parks and Recreation to engage Parkitects for project scoping and design, and calls upon the City Comptroller to file the necessary bond resolution to allow construction to proceed.
