The tennis courts at Jackie Robinson Park Playground in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, have been closed during winter despite local residents' expectations for access. A Change.org petition has surfaced imploring Brooklyn Parks Commissioner Martin Maher for clarification, as NYC Parks regulations stipulate that outdoor courts should generally be open unless under repair or reserved. Residents compare their situation with that of other borough courts, highlighting a perceived inequity. The Brooklyn Parks Department cites vandalism and misuse as reasons for the closure, but locals argue for their rightful access to public facilities, questioning the rationale behind the restrictions.
The Jackie Robinson Park tennis courts, locked for winter, have sparked outrage among locals who demand equal access to facilities enjoyed elsewhere in Brooklyn.
