It's a good thing for <br />the children, a tradition and has played there since 1972. <br />o Leonardo Penilla indicated he understands about the problem it can <br />cause, but it gets the kids involved in the sport and there is no other park <br />close by with courts. <br />o Cecilia Rodriguez indicated she wants the courts removed due to the <br />crime and noise it creates. Her nephew was beaten up because of gang <br />activity. All the younger children are in the community center, not on the <br />courts. She had people sign a petition to remove the courts. <br />PREY Meeting Page 1 October 26, 2015 <br />
