Money for WATER Service in Isham Park!

The check is in good hands!

   Today, Wednesday August 3rd, at 11:30am, New York City Councilmember Robert Jackson delivered a check for $750,000 to park volunteers and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation to specifically be utilized to reinstall water service to Isham Park.
    This comes just a year in advance of the 100 year anniversary of the celebration of the gift of land from Julia Isham Taylor for a park to be named in honor of her father, William Bradley Isham. The celebration of Mrs. Taylor's gift took place on September 28th 1912. What a fitting tribute to Isham Park which has beautifully and quietly served New York City for just about a century...Thank you Robert Jackson!
