On Sunday October 22nd, Mayor Magda Byrne and Lansdowne Borough Council President Benjamin Hover celebrated and recognized the dedication of the formerly named "Interboro Park" to "Rap Curry Park 'The Center.'" Family members of Rap Curry--Ray Curry, Vi Newman Curry, Gina Hackett Curry and Riley Curry--spoke movingly of the importance of "The Center" as a neighborhood hub, the need to recognize the impact of people in our communities who work to benefit all around them, and the great work and life of Rap Curry.
Thank you to Riley Curry for working to coordinate the celebration and to Leon Howard and Khalil Shearlds for organizing the 3 on 3 tournament. Also, thank you to all of the friends, family, and residents of Lansdowne and surrounding communities for making the celebration a special day.
