The park has lost a lot of trees the past few years, hope they replant.

Now that I think about it, that's a fabuloud spot for one of my signature cement oasis seating areas! #shakeshackcanyouhearme

It may be easier to act quickly than to have some part of a damaged/dead tree fall and hit someone resulting in the City getting sued for $10 million then settling for $2 million.
