A 8677 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the city of Yonkers to alienate and discontinue the use of certain parklands

This bill authorizes the city of Yonkers to sell a 10,535-square-foot parcel of parkland (part of Samuel Untermyer Park) to St. John's Riverside Hospital for restoring the Color Gardens on the Untermyer estate. In exchange, Yonkers must dedicate a larger replacement park parcel (19,840 square feet) of equal or greater fair market value. The law requires the city to ensure the new parkland meets or exceeds the value of the land sold, and to comply with federal rules if any federal funds were used for the original park. This transaction directly affects Yonkers residents by altering parkland use while mandating equivalent public space replacement.
