They got ditched.

Furious Brooklyn parents claim the city defunded an ongoing school construction project and left behind gaping holes in their kids’ playground.

The city began the work at PS 9 in Prospect Heights in August and told parents they would wrap up by late September, parents and public officials said at a Friday protest at the school.

But fuming moms and dads said budget cuts led City Hall to abandon the project.

“This was started in the summer and then the funding was pulled and leaves us in the middle of this,” said Yvette Buckner, the mother of a fourth grader. “Our kids are hurt, they can’t go outside.”

Parent Jordan Feigenbaum said the school’s 900 students have been deprived of crucial recreation.

“Last week we were told the project was stopped,” he said. “It was a funding issue. This is a safety concern because there is an open hole behind a fence. Half our yard is not usable.”

Feigenbaum and others demanded that the funding be restored and the project completed.

City councilwoman Laurie Cumbo said usable open spaces are especially crucial during the coronavirus crisis.

“It is negligent to not be able to have an open playground field for our students to be able to play in, to be able to learn in,” she said, adding that she has reached out to City Hall and the School Construction Authority.

A DOE spokesperson said the project would resume when possible

“Due to the unprecedented circumstances brought on by COVID-19, the vast majority of all non-emergency construction projects were placed on pause and we hope to resume them as soon as we can,” said Katie O’Hanlon. “We are in regular communication with the school community to hear their concerns and have since instructed the contractor to install additional safety barriers, fencing and screens.”
