e $70,000 renewal, ap-
proved by the Town Board,
began in February with the
demolition of the old court,
which had not been upgrad-
ed in nearly three decades
and was “crumbling apart,”
Jim Martorano Jr., parks and
recreation superintendent,
said at the time.

Four months later, Mar-
torano was thrilled to cel-
ebrate the court’s reopening.

“It was truly a team e ort
to get this done,” Martorano
said, noting the work done
by the Parks and Recreation
Commission, the engineer-
ing department led by Town
Engineer Dan Ciarcia, and
the highway department led
by Highway Superintendent
Dave Paganelli.

Town Supervisor Matt
Slater returned the love. “Jim
doesn’t like to thank himself,
but for the Parks and Rec
Department, they’ve done a
fantastic job.”

Slater said parks and rec-
reation Commissioner John
Campobasso was a motivat-
ing force behind the project.
“He said it’s time we get it
back to the glory days of bas-
ketball here in the Heights
hamlet. It’s time we get this
court up to snu , a great spot
for kids to come and enjoy a
great day like today.”

Others attending the
ceremony included Town
Councilman Sergio Esposi-
to, Yorktown Central School
District Athletic Direc-
tor Rob Barrett, and several
members of the Yorktown
High School varsity basket-
ball team.
