Midwood kids get new basketball, handball courts
Greenfield funds $850,000 renovation project
Midwood kids who visit Colonel David Marcus Playground are now getting the chance to try out their athletic skills on new basketball and handball courts.
The city’s Parks Department renovated the courts at the playground, located at Avenue P and East Fourth Street, thanks to $850,000 in capital funding obtained by Councilmember David Greenfield (D-Midwood-Borough Park-Bensonhurst).
Greenfield and Community Board 12 Chairman Yidel Perlstein joined Brooklyn Parks Commissioner Kevin Jeffrey at a ribbon cutting ceremony on Dec. 30.
Jeffrey said that thanks to the financial support from Greenfield, “Colonel David Marcus Playground is a vital center for community fitness and recreation, and will continue to see even more upgrades in the coming year.”
