Re-Open the Alvan Petrus Park

Re-open The Alvan Petrus Park.

Posted by Lee Kalinsky, July 10, 2012 at 08:04 pm

I'm sure you have all read and heard this before: "Re-open The Alvan Petrus Park."

But the park remains closed, and the children in this Port Washignton community have lost their only close and safe place to play.

Everyone in Town of North Hempstead and Port Washignton should sign this online petition, urging TONH and the North Hempstead Housing Authority to re-open this park at once.

Please sign the online petition.

BTW during construction which im sure will take at least a year. where will those people park? in the other lots, so us who take the 808 train will get screwed bc we will not have a place to park now.
