Veteran Roy Vanasco
The Conservancy extends our deep sympathy with sharing the news of the passing of WWII Veteran Roy Vanasco.
Roy and his brother Jack were longtime community activists and champions leading the community to reopen the Brooklyn War Memorial. We have so many wonderful memories of their love and meaningful contributions to our park and community. RIP Roy Vanasco, always in our hearts. The Conservancy remembers you with love, respect and an abundance of gratitude.
If you would like to make a donation in honor of Roy Vanasco, we will be planting in his memory, in our Brooklyn Memorial Garden.
Giving Tuesday
Happy December, Happy Giving Tuesday!
Please consider making an end of year donation to the Cadman Park Conservancy. Contributions will go towards our continued planting of native perennials in Cadman Plaza Park. We appreciate you, our park community. This is an opportunity to give back to our park. Every contribution is meaningful to the Conservancy and will go a long way.
Athletic Field
Sharing the Athletic Field: A Community Effort
The Athletic Field is for everyone! New signs will soon define passive and active sports areas during soccer games.
Concerns about children’s play being disrupted by adult leagues are being addressed. The Park Supervisor will monitor the field this weekend to ensure it stays welcoming for all.
Thank you for helping keep our park enjoyable!
