New York City kids and teenagers now have even more safe, fun places to spend their Saturday nights.
Police officers are assigned to each site to help foster better relations and give the youth a safe place to play.
"As we do the intervention of public safety, we need to do the prevention because if they can bounce a ball on the basketball court, they can wear a black robe on the Supreme Court," Mayor Eric Adams said. "I seen a lot of kids, they don't have the opportunity to come here and they out there doing drugs and getting killed at such as young age, so I'm highly grateful for Coach Davis and all the coaches to be here," 13-year-old Abdoul Sienou said.
