Bronx Council Member Kevin C. Riley rallied with youth advocates and community leaders on April 23 to demand year-round access to indoor basketball courts, just hours before a key City Council Parks and Recreation Committee hearing on the issue.
Riley is the sponsor of the Indoor Hoops Act, which would set the city on a path to open more indoor basketball courts like those inside NYC public schools when bad weather makes using public outdoor basketball courts difficult or on weekends. Riley has 28 co-sponsors in support of the bill that is currently in committee.
