5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 00:39, 19 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Article is over 1500 words and meets expansion requirements. Body text is sourced aptly and the sources seem to be reliable. I will have to assume good faith on the ones where paid registration is required. I found no copyright violations and the writing is neutral. lullabying (talk) 00:46, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

Short description goes at the top.
Add alt text to every image being used.
"restored again" → "restored"
"facades made" → "facades are made"
Remove the comma after "pool entrances".
"mayor Robert" → "Mayor Robert"
"bee reopened" - typo?
"a NYC Parks" → "an NYC Parks"
"wading pool; and" → "wading pool, and"
"at a cost of" → "for" (less wordy)
"New York City, it was" → "New York City, was"
