WHAT: |
After three years of searching for an appropriate location to
construct a skate park in the tri-hamlet area, Suffolk County
Legislator Kate Browning (WF-Shirley) and Acting Brookhaven Town
Supervisor Lori Baldassare will be announcing an inter-municipal
project that utilizes funding from Suffolk County and property
owned by Brookhaven Town. |
|
WHY: |
In 2004, Suffolk County appropriated $250,000 to construct a
skate park at Suffolk County’s Smith Point Park in Shirley. This
location was determined not to be suitable and Legislator
Browning has been searching for alternative locations to
construct the skate park. Suffolk County does not have
additional property that can be utilized; however, Brookhaven
Town has a viable parcel directly across from William Floyd High
School. This would be ideal for children to access the property,
and the William Floyd School District has expressed a desire to
locate a skate park near school grounds. |
|
WHERE: |
300 Mastic Beach Rd., Mastic Beach, NY 11951. |
|
WHEN: |
Tuesday, February 24, 2009 at 11am. |
|
DIRECTIONS: |
Take William Floyd Parkway south from Sunrise Highway or
the LIE to Roberts Road. Make a left onto Roberts Road and
continue until the end, which is Floyd Rd. Make a right onto
Floyd Rd. and make an immediate left onto Francis Landau Pl. The
YMCA/Brookhaven Town pool will be on your left across from W.F.
High School. Park in the adjacent parking lot on your left and
proceed to area next to pool. |
