Ironic Sans: Basketball Court

May 11, 2007

Basketball Court

I just noticed this. On the north side of City Hall Park, right next to the Tweed Courthouse, gated off from the public, there’s a basketball hoop.

Basketball at City Hall

When was this installed? Does anyone use it? Is Mayor Bloomberg enjoying an occasional game of H-O-R-S-E when he’s got some downtime?

The Tweed Courthouse now houses the Board of Ed and a school called, I think, “The City Hall Academy.” I assume the hoop is for the kids, although who knows?.
