Kingston Point Park Infrastructure Improvements Project, which is a part of the Weaving the Waterfront shoreline resiliency and climate adaptation efforts, has been divided into two phases.
Phase 1, which has been completed, included parking lot improvements, the creation of a youth soccer field at Kingston Point Park on Delaware Avenue, a new playground, new landscaping, tree planting, and bioswales for storm water. The new parking lot serves as a connection point to the Empire State Trail.
As part of the evaluation and design phase of the project, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) conducted a wetland delineation of the site in 2019.
As a result, in Phase 2 of the project, half of the existing parking lot on the south side of Delaware Avenue will be designed and constructed to facilitate an official wetland. The other half of the existing parking lot will be raised to prevent future flooding and will remain in use for parking. Phase 2 will provide access to the BMX bike facility and enhance connections to the Empire State Trail with new crosswalks, sidewalks and pathways.
Brinnier and Larios PC was selected as the engineering firm to advance Phase 2 design. Design and permitting will continue through spring 2025 and construction will be in fall 2025.
The Kingston Point Park Infrastructure Improvements Project Phase 1 was funded through a grant from the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. The Department of State awarded a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program grant to the City in December 2021.
