I dont or rarely plug other boroughs news, but since it falls under my conservation mantra, a brand new park opened in Staten Island. The park is Brookfield Park. Read the article link embedded. Whether it's here in Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, etc,any new park is habitat and rest stop for birds.
