Mayor Mike Spano expressed his pride in this new addition to the city's parks, stating that it symbolizes the more than 20 Latin American countries represented in Yonkers. He also emphasized that the influence of Latino culture is an important partnership for the growth and development of Yonkers.

According to Yonkers Parks Commissioner Steve Sansone, this park holds great significance as it recognizes how Latino culture has enriched and impacted the city over the past 20 years. He further added that this park serves as a tribute to how this community has positively contributed to Yonkers' progress.

Culture Park was opened in 2018 as one of three parks designed by Yonkers to create open green spaces while preserving the ecology of Saw Mill River. With its new name and purpose, Culture Park will continue to serve as a gathering place for all members of the community while celebrating and honoring Hispanic culture.
