""Thanks to this renovation, John Paul Jones Park has gotten a full facelift, with brand new benches, fully redone paths and plaza paving, and even a new entrance," said Rodriguez-Rosa. " These improvements make 'Cannonball Park,' as it's known in the neighborhood, an even more inviting space for classic events like the Kings County Memorial Day Parade." "Best of all," she added, the agency was able to complete the project "far ahead of schedule.""
