The city would apply for up to $2 million in federal park funding to rehabilitate Delano-Hitch Recreation Park, though it would need to match 50% if awarded.

City Council - May 21, 2026
Two connected items: a cooperation agreement with New City Parks, Inc. and a NY PLAYS grant application of up to $2.5 million (with a 20% city match) to rehabilitate Delano-Hitch Recreation Park. This could be a major upgrade to one of Newburgh's key recreational spaces.
City Council - May 11, 2026
Residents pushed hard for the council to apply for a state grant through New City Parks that could fund a ground-up, inclusive playground at Delano Hitch — possibly worth millions. The application deadline is mid-June, and the item was added to the next work session.
