All you need is a dollar and a dream. Mayor Eric Adams and local elected officials toured the Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center in East Flatbush, a $141 million project that is halfway complete.
New York City Department of Design and Construction Commissioner Tom Foley and Mayor Adams reviewed the site on Oct. 21, a little over a year after Mayor Adams speaks with community leaders about the impact the new Shirley Chisholm Rec Center will have on East Flatbush youth, offering spaces for sports, education and recreation.
“A lot of kids will have their dreams realized here,” Adams said. “Kids in this neighborhood won’t have to leave the area to study or participate in sports like basketball, track and field, and swimming.”The center is named after Shirley Chisholm, the trailblazing Brooklyn-born politician who became the first Black woman elected to the U.S.
Her legacy has lived on in the work of those bringing the rec center to life. Foley on Monday praised the “Fab Four” team leading the development.Construction crews continue work on the Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center, which will feature an indoor pool, teaching kitchen, media lab and more.Halfway there: East Flatbush’s Shirley Chisholm Rec Center on track for 2025 openingYankees to start Gerrit Cole for Game 1 of World Series vs.
