A local council member and residents are pushing to save a rare patch of green space in Jackson Heights from being sold for development.

The play yard at Saint Mark's Church, one of only two grassy areas in the neighborhood, is a vital outdoor space for a local daycare.

The community is now urging the church to consider the city's offer to ensure the space remains a community asset.

Council Member Shekar Krishnan has proposed that the city purchase the property from the financially struggling church to preserve it. Alex Flores, a parent of a three-year-old who uses the space, expressed deep concern over the potential loss.

"When a school in our neighborhood has right now access to open space, it is deeply troubling to know that there is the potential of that open space to be taken away," Flores said.
