A large limb broke off the American elm near the Tompkins Square Park entrance at Avenue B and Ninth Street today, temporarily closing one of the tennis-handball courts.
Later in the day, EVG reader Heather Dubin reported that a Parks Forestry crew was removing the fallen limb and reopened the court.
This marks the second
sizable branch to fall from the tree this year. Another came down during high winds in late May. Parks Forestry inspected the elm after that incident,
per public records.
