Not for nothing, but why do they need 'equiopment' to play on?
When i was in school, we had a school yard. That it, just a yard. We never felt cheated or bored, because we used our **Imaginations** and we filled that space with our own activities.

I see the developer reads and posts on QUeenscrap.
at least the contractor did not plant 19 sibling trees and benches across the playground . but give the GREENIES time and money, they will.
check out P.S.159 Q in Bayside .
"at least the contractor did not plant 19 sibling trees and benches across the playground ."
What's wrong with that? The trees will eventually grow and provide some shade so that the kids in the future don't bake in the sun during the hot summer.
Now if you are talking about how 10 of the 19 new trees dying after a year, that is Parks Dept's fault for not getting the contractor to replace the trees which are supposed to a have a 2 year warranty.
Why not have the taxpayers pay for it halloran had the taxpayers pay for the "cleanup" with his shell civic leader in tow that whitestone farms cleanup was paid for by taxpayer money while the owner a manhattan developer graciously gave permission thanks alot.
Oh yes, planting trees is "socialist" -especially if it interferes with red-blooded things like baseball.
My primary school (P6-man)had two huge trees in the center of the yard. They were part of our play in the 1960's.
Unfortunately, they were cut down in the late 60's to make way for some stupid handball which had enough room beforehand.
Trees made that yard a welcoming oasis in the summer.
Interesting contrast to Astoria where the Variety Boys Club had a developer put up a building on a playground and another school put up at library branch on 21st Street school yard.
Not a complaint or even a comment from the community - as a matter of fact the whole community never comments on stuff like this - like its in one big witness protection program.
Interesting contrast in communities.
Astoria ... library ... developer ....
round up the usual suspects.
Bayside Queens, has plenty of trees to sit under. the d.o.e. does not have to plant 19 trees across a PLAY GROUND. that is PLAY SPACE for the exercise of teens.
trees and benches do not belong in the center of a soft ball field and basketball full court. the local GREENIES wasted tax money and stopped the communitie's teens of full use of the space. it probably spent obama stimulus for work that was not needed.
also see I.S. 25 @F.L.Blvd/35 th avenue. unused and poorly planned . no nets or poles for tennis/volleyball. no ball field or full court basketball. and sitting space that is unused at north end of property.
15 of the 19 trees died the first year. two more are recently dead.
the socialists GREEN DREAM is all in the RED. see Solyndra, Windfarms, bankrupt Planyc 2030 .
Regarding Solyndra, Gramps:
http://idealab.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/09/energy-department-house-republicans-distorted-e-mail-correspondence.php
what did the thieves at Solyndra do with our $535 MILLION ? why did the obama adm. permit the private investors,lead by Obama's Campaign Bundler ,to get first financial leftovers from the bankruptcy?
when the taxpayers originally were first on the list?
democrat scam...we take the fifth...democrat scam.... we take the fifth...
this is the 4th obama SOCIALIST GREEN DREAM TO GO BANKRUPT..... the U.S DEPT. of ENERGY should be eliminated.
"what did the thieves at Solyndra do with our $535 MILLION"
Aw Gramps, here you go again..and just when I thought you were getting a taste for the truth.
Let's be clear about the government's involvement here.
These were -loan guarantees-.
In this scenario a private bank makes the actual capitol available to the private business...The taxpayers get screwed if said private concern fails.
So, if this company had succeeded -a private bank- would have seen the profit -but when it failed (due to competition from the Chinese..not it's technology) we taxpayers get stuck making the private bank whole.
Very republican.
the G.O.P. in 2008, rejected the government loan to Solyndra , and obama's (SIGN THIS BILL NOW,DO NOT READ IT) administration reinstated it and used the GREEN SOLAR EXPERIMENT($535 MILLION) as campaign propaganda by the DEMOCRAT/ Gov/Media .
all the federal investigations into the$535Million theft/ obama coverup , could be more than political warfare @ election time.
$535MILLION equals Over One Half BILLION that the taxpayers of the U.S. will be screwed out of by the GREENIES WET DREAM.
