Middle Village resident Robert Cermeli expressed concern at the Community Board 5 meeting about the baseball field’s broken protective netting that borders the outfield.
Noting that at least one part of the netting is torn, Cermeli said the hole is so big an elephant would be able to fit through it.
With the netting serving as a protective barrier for both a walkway and a kiddie park close by, the broken net creates a possible dangerous situation for those in either location if a ball flies through that hole.
Due to lack of a swift fix by the park, Cermeli urged the board for help before an incident occurs.
