The path along the Ninth Street walkway is about half the size now with the fencing (on the positive side, this will make it more difficult to drive through the Park)... 
The space behind the field house — dubbed the Slocum area as it includes the Slocum Memorial Fountain — is now also closed to the public ...
... along with the restrooms... 
The Parks Department website lists a September 2024 competition date for the $5.6-million project (PDF here), which will:
• Upgrade existing restrooms to code
• Upgrade Parks and maintenance and operations space
• Add first aid and lifeguard locker room spaces in the building
• Reconstruct interiors
• Clean and partially repoint exterior brick
In addition, the Tompkins Square mini pool will be out of commission for two consecutive summers.
This poorly scrawled circle shows roughly how much of the Park will be closed for the next 18 months ...

so . . . I guess they must have left room for emergency vehicles to pass through? Garbage trucks?
Grieve, there was no need to demean the circle.
A good showcase of how the asphalted area is too wide, can be 50% reduced in size
Hmm, no work on the pool? Well that makes sense. Let’s hope 10 th street at least opens the whole pool the next 2 summers!
I had a baby specifically to gain access to the mini pool! 😢😢😢
Lol!
