Please spread the word that the Basketball Court just south of the
playground area is more or less ready for public use. The rims are up,
and the sidewalk along 43rd street has been repaired.
The court and backboards must wait until the spring for their paint
jobs. That's when the Friends of Clark Park hope to host a Grand Opening
of the court.
For now, we'd like to give credit where credit is due: to the
partnership that brought this new basketball court about. While the FoCP
advised on thre project, most of the work was done by the Departments of
Recreation and Water: Rec planned and coordinated the project, while the
Water Department installed an innovative new stormwater tank/management
system under the court to manage the rainfall on 43rd street.
Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell's office has been instrumental in
shepherding this project through to its completion.
So pass the word along that basketball has returned to Clark Park!
