A Bronx man used his pandemic downtime to clean up a remote section of a New York City park, clearing brush, installing benches and drawing up plans for big improvements.

Some neighbors applaud his efforts, but the city Parks Department? Not so much.

Half-Moon Overlook in the Bronx has stunning views of the Palisades and the Hudson River. It’s a tiny sliver of the city’s 28,000 acres of municipal park land where one man is dreaming big.
