Workers were racing to wrap up painting the multipurpose courts/TF in Tompkins Square Park last evening. 

One of the workers said they thought they'd be ready to unveil today, though it could have to wait until tomorrow. 

This space along Avenue A and 10th Street has been closed for repainting since Aug. 26. After the resurfacing last fall, the Parks Department added color to the asphalt, including a walking track on the perimeter and markings for the basketball hoops...
As previously noted, we'll see how everyone co-exists in this new configuration. The court has been a skating hotspot for decades.

Apparently, the parks department did not look at the condition of the walkways all around Tompkins Square, Park. They’re a mess. They need a lot of work. They’re ripped up gravel holes. The Parks department has resurfaced the wrong surface of this park. Priorities???
