“I want to thank Commissioner Adrian Benepe, Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski, and Queens Borough President Helen Marshall for their continued support of parks throughout Queens,” said Council Member Elizabeth Crowley. “Juniper Valley Park was my local playground as a child, and it continues to improve with each passing year. Children can now play on the new slides and swings in an impressive design that captures the historical significance of this area’s past as a former swampland. As an added bonus, the playground is eco-friendly and built to be sustainable for future generations.”


In 2008 Council Member Elizabeth Crowley was elected to represent the 30th Council District covering the Glendale, Maspeth, Middle Village, Richmond Hill, Ridgewood, and Woodhaven neighborhoods. Elizabeth was the first female and first Democrat elected to represent that seat. She has chaired the Fire & Criminal Justice Services Committee since January 2010 which oversees the Fire Department, Department of Correction, Department of Probation, and Criminal Justice Coordinator’s Office.
