Tot lot on 48th Avenue to officially reopen today

May 22, 2017 Staff Report

The children’s playground on the corner of 48th Avenue and 5th Street—known as the tot lot—is scheduled to officially reopen today after undergoing a major overhaul.

The playground, which is for 2-to 4-year-olds, reopens with a jungle gym, slide, climbing area and a soft surface.

The overhaul represents the second phase of the upgrades to the park space along 48th Avenue between Vernon Boulevard and 5th Street. The first phase, which involved the revamp of the basketball and handball courts, was completed last summer.

That spot has been closed and chained for 4 years and under construction for 2 years at a cost of $350,000. Glad it is open though.

The St. John’s University community will gather to mourn legendary basketball coach Lou Carnesecca on the Hillcrest campus he loved with all of his heart Friday morning for his Funeral Mass at St. Thomas More Church, where he will be remembered not just for building a dynamic program, but for the way he did it. The beloved coach died peacefully surrounded by family and friends on Saturday, Nov. 30, at age 99 and just five weeks shy of his 100th birthday.

“Throughout his long life, Coach Carnesecca represented St. John’s with savvy, humility, smarts, tenacity, wit, integrity and grace,” SJU President Rev. Brian Shanley said. “He was the public face of our University, and he embodied the values of our Catholic and Vincentian mission. We thank God for his legacy.”
