35 years ago, the Happy Land Social Club on Crotona Parkway was engulfed in flames, resulting in the loss of 87 lives—many of whom were of Honduran and other Latin American descent. This week, our Monuments Conservation Crew had the honor of visiting the memorial, designed by Honduran immigrant José Antonio Velásquez, to remember and honor the victims of this devastating tragedy. A special thank you to the monument team for their continued dedication to preserving this site, ensuring it remains a place of remembrance through regular cleaning and inspections.
关于我们
The New York City Department of Parks & Recreation is New York City's principal provider of recreational and athletic facilities and programs. Our parks are home to free concerts, world-class sports events, and cultural festivals. Parks & Recreation is the steward of nearly 14 percent of New York City's land, including thousands of individual properties ranging from Coney Island Beach and Central Park to community gardens and Greenstreets. We operate athletic fields, playgrounds, tennis courts, public pools, recreational facilities, nature centers, golf courses, and beaches throughout the five boroughs. We also care for monuments and historic house museums and look after hundreds of thousands of street trees (even more within parks).
