Warner Bros. unveiled the Tune Squad Court—a fresh court refurbishment and mural—at Rodney Park North in Williamsburg with a launch event on Thurs. Aug. 1, 2019, filled with local NYC creatives and influencers within sports, music, fashion and art to celebrate the fun-loving Looney Tunes characters who continue to tear up the basketball court generation after generation.
