Another major investment at Westmoreland was announced today. Thanks to a grant donation from the @jjb_foundation, the basketball court will be fully resurfaced and the surrounding pavilion will have a new fence installed to give players an upgrade that will last for years to come. Mayor Walsh joined Syracuse University Men’s Basketball Coach Jim Boeheim and 5th District Councilor Joe Driscoll, who played an instrumental role in getting the grant, to express the importance of the upcoming renovation. The project is another step in the right direction to provide vital, positive social outlets for young people in our community. @syracuseparksrec Commissioner Julie LaFave and @syracuseparksconservancy Vice President Kevin McClelland said it best noting that the work to improve city parks for the community benefits us all.

With the help of an advisory committee and many partnerships to launch this new opportunity where positive interactions with local law enforcement through sports will be consistent, Oliver shared that the real work starts today. Youth and families will have access to new relationships and resources to grow athletically and socially starting this summer with soccer, basketball, football and dance clinics planned through the local league. ⚽️ 🏀 🏈 💃 A huge thank you goes out to Hood and his staff at the national level for helping to see the Syracuse accreditation through to the finish line. He noted that in 1914, the first PAL came out of New York State. Now, over 300 member chapters are spread throughout the country and Syracuse is one of them and the work underway to strengthen police-community relations has now gone to a whole new level. To everyone who made this moment possible and will continue supporting the efforts to engage our youth to prevent juvenile crime and violence, you are all appreciated. Thank you for being a part of this historic moment and for the impact your participation will have on all the families whose lives will be changed.
