It was a championship day on and off the court. 🏀💙 It was a championship day on and off the court. 🏀💙

We were proud to celebrate the ribbon cutting of a newly renovated playground and basketball court, made possible through the incredible generosity of the 2026 NBA Champion New York Knicks, the NYC Department of Homeless Services, and the Garden of Dreams Foundation.

We were also honored to welcome Knicks legend John Starks, whose visit made the day even more memorable for the children and families we serve.

Partnerships like these create opportunities for young people to play, grow, and dream in safe, welcoming spaces.

Together, we’re building more than a playground, we’re building hope. @gardenofdreams
