Just in time for the summer
hoops season, the Highland
Park basketball courts near the
Glendale/Brooklyn border have
upped their game.
The courts recently received a
bright new coat of blue and pink
paint and a repaving as part of a
$995,000 reconstruction project
funded by Councilman Rafael
Espinal Jr., Councilman Robert
Holden and Mayor Bill de Blasio.
NYC Parks Queens Borough
Commissioner Michael Dockett
joined Espinal Jr. and community
members Tuesday, July 2, to cut the
ribbon on the four reconstructed
basketball courts.
The parks are located on the eater
side of the park south of the tennis
courts, and west of the soccer field.
In addition to the new asphalt and
color coating, the project replaced
the courts’ fencing and curbs. The
site features new Americans with
Disabilities Act-compliant stairway
rails, new pavement and striping,
benches, bike racks and a drinking
fountain.
“We’re happy to unveil these new

courts to the community,” said
Dockett. “Basketball courts are
great amenities for our parks and
serve as a hub for active recreation.
The newly transformed basketball
courts at Highland Park will serve
families and community members
for decades to come.”
