City of Troy touts $600,000+ investment in Canal Park
Mayor Mantello highlights Canal Park upgrades, emphasizing more park improvements to come
TROY, N.Y. (July 18, 2024) — The City of Troy announced a significant milestone in its efforts to enhance the quality of life for its residents through the revitalization of Canal Park, with new playground equipment, bike path, fencing and landscaping. With an investment exceeding $600,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, this project marks a major step forward in creating a safer, greener and more vibrant Troy.
The Canal Park revitalization is part of a broader initiative encompassing several parks throughout the city, including Kinloch Park, Beman Park, Powers Park, 112th Street Park and Prospect Park. The improvements across these parks include the installation of splash pads, upgraded playground equipment, enhanced water drainage systems, a fitness pad, community pool upgrades, new pavilions and picnic tables. These upgrades will provide safe, enjoyable spaces for all residents.
“It’s about creating safe, accessible spaces where families can gather, children can play and everyone can enjoy themselves,” said Troy Mayor Carmella Mantello. “These upgraded parks provide a cleaner, greener environment that our neighborhoods can take pride in.”
These ARPA investments are now highlighted through the “Troy Gets It Done” campaign under Mayor Mantello. This new phase is dedicated to ensuring that residents visibly and tangibly experience the positive changes within their community. The campaign encompasses significant investments in the city’s parks and recreational infrastructure, as well as efforts in business and workforce development, increasing homeownership, expanding youth programming and more.
