Join Us Sunday at 1pm for a Rally to Repair + Reopen the Tony Dapolito Recreation Center

Join Village Preservation and the Coalition to Save the Public Recreation Center Downtown (SPRCD) for a rally this Sunday, March 29 at 1pm to save the Tony Dapolito Recreation Center. At the rally, we’ll reveal government records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request that directly contradict City claims that the landmarked building cannot be repaired and reopened, and prove our long-held contention that it can be. 

We’ve been fighting for nearly two years against City plans to demolish the Center. Recently shared City plans for development of the nearby 388 Hudson Street site indicate they still intend to replace the entire Center, in spite of Mayor Mamdani’s campaign pledge to restore and reopen the building.

Join us on Sunday March 29 at 1pm in front of the Tony Dapolito Recreation Center at 7th Avenue So. and Clarkson Street.
