The revamp of Terrapin Playground, the section of J.J. Byrne Park that Shaya Boymelgreen and associates have used as a staging area during construction of the Novo, is supposed to be complete by May, according to a story in last week’s Crain’s (sub req’d). Work on the westernmost section of the public park (which will include a eight new handball courts, two new basketball courts, a skate area, and a dog run area) was originally supposed to be finished last summer. While we can’t say that we’ve noticed a great deal of progress on the space since we checked in on it in December, it would certainly be terrific if the long overdue reopening were only a few months away and ready for summer.

  1. Of all the non-issue ‘controversies’ this and other websites tries to serve up, this one is among the lamest.

    A plot of cracked asphalt on 4th Ave is used for private construction on the grounds that it will be improved upon being handed back. It takes longer than (who?) expected, but it’s over the winter when no one uses it.

    Result? Outrage and complaining all day long.

    Seriously, Gabby, find something more interesting to write about. You’ve recycled this one enough times already.
