I feel it is because the circles could still be seen every year because of their altered lighter coloring during the Spring and Summer and their darker greener colors during the Fall and Winter that it became necessary for the Dept. Of Parks to bury them with hopes to kill them all off altogether.

How ever because of the seeding of the altered grasses which grow not only lighter but lower to the ground than the other grasses the lawn was being taken over by these altered plants which are the lighter patches of grasses which can be seen about the lawn in these pictures.

By keeping this lawn in such a horrendous condition over the last nine years any change to this lawn will be welcomed and unchallenged by those including myself that use this park.

Lincoln Terrace Park is a small park about one and a quarter blocks and it is divided by Buffalo Ave which turns into Rockaway Parkway when it reaches the south side of the park.

There has been new Tennis courts built, new playgrounds, new hand ball courts, new basket ball court, gymnast areas, new chess tables added, new drinking fountains, and benches and bleachers added, why has this lawn been allowed to decay and go to weed in such a manner?

A point that occurred to me that went unnoticed at that time was during the early nineties when the circles were still new the street that divided the park was closed off and police cars were parked there over night for some reason.

"True this was during the time of the Crown Heights turmoil but was their another reason these cars were parked there?" I must ask.

For when I asked the officers of the patrol car about the activities in the park I was told that the park was under three precincts 69th, 70th, and the 71th so it was never patrolled for no one knew which one of the three held jurisdiction over it.
