Huntington Station’s Breezy Park to Receive $1.4 Million for Turf Fields

Huntington Station’s Breezy Park is set to receive $1.4 million for turf fields under a state funding announcement made July 20, 2026, by New York Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Assemblymember Steve Stern.

The announcement came during the officials’ visit to Manor Field Park in Huntington Station. The funding is intended to improve a heavily used recreation resource and support continued access to organized sports and other community activities for local youth and families.

What was announced

Heastie and Stern announced the $1.4 million allocation for turf fields at Breezy Park as Heastie continued his annual statewide tour. The announcement identifies the park improvement and the amount of state funding, but it is not a report that construction has begun or that the money has already been spent.

The state announcement does not specify the turf fields’ dimensions, a construction start date, a procurement schedule or a completion date. Those details will determine when residents, youth sports organizations and families can expect the work to affect park use.

Manor Field Park visit

Manor Field Park, where the announcement was made, includes sports fields, tennis courts, a spray park and a playground. The officials’ visit brought the funding announcement to another Huntington Station recreation site that provides space for sports, play and family activities.

Local officials and participants in youth programs attended the visit. Their presence underscored the connection between the proposed Breezy Park improvement and the community’s existing use of public recreation facilities.

The two parks are part of the local recreation landscape serving Huntington Station families. Upgraded turf fields at Breezy Park are intended to give young people and organized programs improved sports space while helping maintain the park as a continuing community recreation resource.

What comes next

The announced funding is the key development, while the project’s design and schedule remain to be established. Residents and sports organizations will need additional information about contracting, field layout and construction timing to understand when the improvement will move from announcement to work at the park.

The July 20 announcement does not set a date for construction to start or for the fields to open. It also does not say whether park access will change during construction. Until those details are released, the practical effect for families is an announced future improvement rather than an immediate change to Breezy Park operations.

For Huntington Station, the investment is aimed at strengthening a public recreation resource used by local youth and families. The next publicly significant milestones will be the release of project specifications and a timetable for implementing the turf-field work.
