EnTech staff, city officials, and community leaders recently celebrated the opening of the reconstructed Anne Loftus Playground. The playground, nestled into the corner of the historic Fort Tryon Park, provides a widely used gathering spot for Upper Manhattan communities.
EnTech, as the prime CM consultant, monitored and coordinated construction of the $3.4 million New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYCDPR) project. Work included removal of existing benches, equipment, and pavement, followed by the installation of a new playground with spray shower, swings, half basketball court, and other fitness and recreation equipment. Also added were new seating, fencing, lighting, and landscaping, as well as drainage improvements.
EnTech’s CM team included Jonathan Crocca, Hamidreza Jahanian, and Mehdi Sameti. Among the officials in attendance were NYCDPR Commissioner Sue Donoghue, NYCDOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, State Senator Robert Jackson, Assembly Member Manny De Los Santos, Council Member Carmen De La Rosa, and Community Board 12 Parks & Cultural Affairs Committee Chair Elizabeth Lorris Ritter.
