The October issue of the city’s Battery Park newsletter, circulated to provide regular updates for residents affected by flooding the in neighborhoods of Battery Park, Brookfield Gardens and Southern Barton Heights, highlights the latest activities in the major renovation project:
Battery Park was a flurry of activity the last two weeks of September.
The contractors arrived on Sept. 30 to begin paving the existing tennis courts, while the week before Department of Public Utilities employees returned to the park to wire the park lighting.
In the meantime, another contractor installed the poles on and around the tennis courts, and Irvin Mitchell, an electrician with the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities, worked on installing the push button lighting system for the tennis courts.
The new lighting system is the same energy-saving system as installed at Byrd Park’s tennis courts. The lighting system for the Battery Park tennis courts allows park users to turn the court lights on when needed. The lights, which are set for 55-minute intervals, turn off automatically after a five-minute warning buzzer if they are not reset by the players. The system eliminates wasted energy since the lights do not remain on when the courts are not in use.
