A MOVEMENT HAS BEGUN IN HUNTERS POINT

A movement has begun for a Rec Center in Hunters Point.  Spearheaded by Brent O’Leary, President of the Hunters Point Civic Association, and Eric Malinowski, a local father of two, the tandem, with backing from several other neighborhood organizations, has created an online petition calling for a recreation center to be included in any large development granted a rezoning or variance (Aka #1 Anable Basin; #2 Water’s Edge).  The petition cites many seemingly obvious health benefits of physical activity and the increasingly diminished1 options as to where a rec center could be placed in Hunters Point.  None of which seems to have penetrated anyone in city government with a say. Help them hear the people of Long Island City, and sign (and circulate) the petition today:
