Schoolyards to Playgrounds Reconstruction Comes to PS 155 South Ozone Park...
The above is an artists rendering of the plan to convert the schoolyard at PS 155Q into a new playground for the community...PS 155 Q is located at 130-02 115th Ave South Ozone Park, NY 11420...It is a K-5 school with an enrollment of 650 students...The Principal is Dorothy Morris...The school is within the confines of Community Board 10...
I feel this will be a lovely play area for neighborhood kids, although I would prefer to see the City stay away from the use of artificial turfs, with all the negative news reports of them containing high lead levels and possible carcinogens - several states have banned their installations...
