Downtown Groups Show Solidarity, Jointly Urge Mamdani to Keep Promise and Save the Dapolito Rec Center

A coalition of downtown community, political, and civic groups has jointly reached out to Mayor-elect Mamdani to urge him to keep his campaign pledge and repair and restore rather than demolish the landmarked, neglected, and long-shuttered Tony Dapolito Recreation Center — READ OUR LETTER HERE.
With Mayor Adams about to leave office, we have a real chance to save and reopen the Tony Dapolito Recreation Center. We need to ensure that Mayor-elect Mamdani and all our local elected officials are working together to fulfill that long-broken promise and repair and reopen the Center.
