The city has a plan to revamp parts of Maria Hernandez Park.

The NYC Parks Department is currently in the planning phase of a project that will turn the underused asphalt pitch at Maria Hernandez into a synthetic turf field, install misting stations, and update the fitness equipment, Bklyner first reported. 

The Parks Department has an operating budget of $3.4 million to be used for tearing up the large blacktop behind the plaza near the back of the park and installing a synthetic pitch that will be marked as a soccer field.
