Roller Hockey Players Want Penalty Called on UN Land Swap
August 5, 2011

Quote:
A plan to convert a portion of the East Side waterfront into a continuous greenway is being hailed by local joggers, cyclists, dog walkers and stroller pushers — but it's getting slapped down by a group of roller hockey players who say it'll take away their practice space.
The East End Hockey Association has been playing on the blacktop of the 1.3 acre Robert Moses Playground since 1972.
If a deal with the city on Robert Moses Playground isn't reached by Oct. 10, the law that Albany passed in July to give it to the UN to build its office tower — which would be connected to the Secretariat and the rest of its campus via a tunnel under 42nd Street — becomes moot.
