Please help get the basketball courts put back up at the Collingdale Park behind the Harris elementary school. The black students (including my son) witnessed and heard the Collingdale officials tell the children playing at the park, that the reason why they were taking the basketball courts down was because it was too many "blacks and minorities" playing at the park. Please help get back the basketball courts!!!

I would hope that an official wouldn't actually tell children that the courts were closed because of the race of those who play there, but I don't doubt that it is the reason behind it.
It is really upsetting to see how many basketball courts have been rendered unusable by local municipalities in this area. Collingdale Park is only the latest one to disappear.
Check out the remnants of courts on Westmont Ave in Collingdale, or Shisler Ave. in Aldan. Glenwood Ave. in Clifton Heights.... Westbrook Park Elementary School. Remember the courts on West Chester Pike across from the LA Fitness in Havertown? And there's plenty more.
When local officials wonder why area youths have nothing better to do than get in trouble, they need to realize that these actions only contribute to the problem.

Please don't fix this. Thanks to Collingdale for standing up and protecting our property values and trying to reduce TNS. I don't want to live in a neighborhood where your son is.
