Basketball diaries: one of the courts is back open in Tompkins Square Park

One of the two basketball courts is back in action in Tompkins Square Park. (Thanks to the EVG reader for the photo and tip.) 

The courts have been closed since June 5 for a new mural design. The cracked courts also needed to be refurbished, and workers were installing new backboards and rims. 

We'll have more about all this later, as the courts will officially be unveiled on Monday afternoon.
