RANDALLS ISLAND TENNIS CENTER EXPANSION PLAN SLAMMED
BY DANIEL BEEKMAN (NYDN)
Park and community advocates are raising a racket over the continued privatization of public parkland on Randalls Island.
The private company that runs a swanky tennis center at Randalls Island Park has announced plans to expand the facility at no cost to taxpayers.
But advocates claim poor players from the South Bronx and East Harlem won’t benefit, because the center operates like a high-priced club, with members shelling out thousands of dollars for lessons and perks.
