Earlier this week, Governor Cuomo announced the groundbreaking for a new student-designed community playground at P.S. 377 Alejandrina Benitez DeGautier School at 200 Woodbine Street in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Part of the Cuomo administration’s larger “Vital Brooklyn” initiative, the playground––valued at $1.5 million––will provide 34,189 local residents a new green space within a short 10-minute walk of their homes.
