A lot
of parents voiced their concerns about no sprinklers at a Canarsie Park after
the park was vandalized at the beginning of the month.
Now
there is a temporary sprinkler in place, but parents say that the temporary
system is not large enough to help local kids cool off during the summer heat.
“They
should take action as quickly as possible,” said Jean Estime, one concerned
parent. “It’s very, very terrible, especially today… fix the water pipes
for kids to come and enjoy the water.”
The city Parks
Department says it is repairing the main sprinklers, but the temporary
one will remain in place until then.
