Legal Question in Discrimination Law in New York

Residents Only Park/Playgrounds

What is the legality of having a residents-only playground/park? I live in White Plains which borders West Harrison. There is a Silver Lake park in West Harrison which I've been to several times in the past w/o incident. Recently my children and I were turned away because we are not residents of West Harrison.Can I fight this?

Re: Residents Only Park/Playgrounds

This is an issue that has been coming up with more frequency lately. There have been several law suits in New Jersey with mixed success. The short answer is: it depends.

Can you start a lawsuit. Sure. If you have either the backing or the money to do it. If you'd like to discuss this or even the issues involved, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699
