Bronx Park Near Yankee Stadium Falls Into Disrepair as Community Demands Action
At Macombs Dam Park, the block of space built on the old Yankee Stadium site in the Bronx has fallen into disrepair—unsafe fields, trash, and lingering neglect highlight a gap between a billionaire-fueled franchise and a low-income community that says it’s owed better; while city officials trumpet ongoing maintenance and a forthcoming renovation, funding gaps and questions about private participation mean real improvements are uncertain, turning a historic landmark into a symbol of unmet promises.
