We want to thank @JimmyVanBramer @NYCParks Commissioner @mitchell_silver @FDNY Commissioner Nigro and the other leaders who heard us, supported us, and made today happen. Thanks to them, future generations of #Sunnyside and #Woodside children will know the name Michael Davidson.

The former Phipps Playground in Sunnyside/Woodside — now a public park — will be named after Lieutenant Michael Davidson, the firefighter who died fighting a fire in Harlem in March 2018. Davidson grew up across the street from the playground at Phipps Houses.
