MAYOR ELLEN MCNULTY-RYAN AND LOCAL OFFICIALS TO OPEN NEW SPRAY PARK

WHEN: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 11:00 AM

WHERE: Paine Street Park, 200 Paine Street, Green Island, New York 12183

WHAT: Mayor Ellen McNulty-Ryan, Director of Recreation Maggie Alix, local officials and anxious Green Island residents both young and old will be on hand to dedicate and open the new state of the art Spray Park, which is located in the Paine Street Park. This ceremony coincides with the official opening of the Summer Park Program.

The new water park was built without using any taxpayer dollars and replaces the old spray pool that was in existence in the park since the 1940’s. This entire project was made possible through the generosity of John and Linda Kutey in honor of their parents Edmund Ostrowski and the late Gertrude Ostrowski and Joseph and Mercedes Kutey, Sr. The Mayor will also acknowledge the efforts of James Besha, Sr. and Albany Engineering Corp. for donating their time and expertise in the design, engineering and coordination of this project and Todd Grimm and Grimm Building Materials who donated materials used in the construction. All of them are expected to be on hand for the ceremony. Gallo Construction was the General Contractor for the project.

Hot Dogs and refreshments will immediately follow the ceremony.
