Target: New York Parks Department - District 7 - Community Leaders
Region: United States of America
Petition Background (Preamble):
George Harvey Roller Hockey Rink is located in Whitestone, Queens New York and was created in 1995.
http://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/Q089B/history
For many years the rink was used widely by hockey leagues, friendly play, and anyone who likes to roller blade.
This past winter the boards were repaired but sadly the surface was not.
It has never been done in it's 15+ years and has become difficult and potentially dangerous to play roller hockey on. When a puck doesn't slide and instead bounces it make for poor play and less control.
This has lead to organized leagues and tournaments from staying away from this rink. We would like to see them come back and make the friendly games that go on there continue.
