(NEW CASSEL, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislator Viviana L. Russell (D – Westbury) joined her colleagues in government at Martin “Bunky” Reid Park in New Cassel on Saturday, July 18 to celebrate the grand opening of the complex’s Pickleball courts. The day included a dedication ceremony, demonstrations and lessons, open play, and a mini tournament amongst elected officials, local clergy, and community leaders.
“Bunky Reid is a legendary figure in the New Cassel community, and his commitment to education and enriching the lives of local youth is honored every time we reach out to put a young scholar on the road to success,” Legislator Russell said. “It was a privilege to join Councilman Robert Troiano, who spearheaded this transformation, and the community in celebrating this addition to our cherished community hub, and a blessing to commemorate this momentous occasion alongside Bunky’s mother, Mrs. Julia Reid – a woman whose spirit and dignity uplifts us all.”
