The corner of Green St. and deKoven Dr. is now the site of "Willy Pep Park", named in honor of great boxer who hailed from Middletown. The Park and Rec department is going through the process of designing the site and NEAT has invited them to come to our October NEAT meeting to discuss the issue. Their interest (after discussion with residents) is to put a well-designed skate park, some kind of recreational space for kids (a playscape or something similar) and some kind of passive recreation (maybe a community garden?). BUT, we want the North End to have a say in how this park is designed so that it works for the neighborhood.
Because of scheduling problems, they can't come to our regular NEAT meeting on Wed, Oct. 13th. So, we're moving the date of the NEAT meeting to the next day, Thursday, October 14th. We're going to do a lot of outreach to those who live in the Ferry, Green and Rapallo blocks, but spread the word to anyone that you may know. It's important to have good participation.
