Description

I reported this last year and was told something would be done and we are enduring another season of basketballs that come flying into the playground, barely missing the heads of toddlers and parents. Tonight I watched yet another basketball whiz past the head of a little 1 year old being held by their parent on the bench. You will be hearing from her and she will be calling Carol Jean Doyle to complain.
It took long enough for the town to finally install a stop sign, that we have been pleading for, at the Hamilton Ave intersection of the park. That helped greatly, thank you for that.
. But please do not take as long to fix this issue. Just one section of decorative fence between the court and playground should suffice. We don't want to fence in the entire court or playground. We love the openness of the park but there has to be some safety measures taken when you have a basketball court just feet from a playground filled with children. Thank you.
