The team is asking residents in Rochester to vote for one of three parks in the city - Kutzky, East and Friendship.The one that receives the most votes will receive the upgrade.
Voting will close Aug. 6th.
The program - called ‘New Era. New Courts.’ - will become an annual initiative.

Through this new platform, we will ensure communities have these courts for years to come.”
