Parks Issues Request For Proposals For Snack Bar At Central Park's Hecksher Ballfields

Parks & Recreation announces that a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) has been issued for the renovation, operation, and maintenance of a snack bar at the Heckscher Ballfields in Central Park.

“Central Park’s Heckscher Ballfields provide New Yorkers with a great space to place softball right in the heart of Manhattan,” said Parks & Recreation Commissioner Adrian Benepe. “Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of the Central Park Conservancy, the ballfields look better than ever. Its snack bar further improves the park’s ambiance while providing a convenient service to the public. We are seeking proposals that will continue to offer visitors high quality and affordable delights.”
