LPR Proposes Races Around and
On the Jacqueline
Kennedy Onassis Reservoir

OCTOBER 10, 2007 --

Taking a walk around the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir in Central Park, October 2, LPR noticed two mini-vehicles from the NYPD's Central Park precinct
scooting along the former bridle path. (The stable that was home to the riding horses of Central Park closed a few months ago.)

How about races of these vehicles on the bridle path? (LPR got the idea for such races seeing three of these NYPD mini-vehicles scooting up the roadway of the hill on 164th Street, in the Bronx, near Yankee Stadium,
this summer. LPR, however, did not have its camera handy to record that interesting scene.)

And, on the reservoir, why not races of dragon boats, wind-surfboards and other craft down, or across, this midpark body of water?
