Mayor Adams Announces $160 Million Investment in Brownsville Recreation Center
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

On Wednesday, July 10th, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a $160 million investment to completely rebuild the 70-year-old Brownsville Recreation Center in Brooklyn. This initiative is part of the city’s FY25 Adopted Budget, aimed at revitalizing public spaces and enhancing the quality of life for residents.

Mayor Adams highlighted the significance of the project, stating, “Our $160 million investment in the Brownsville Recreation Center will transform this 70-year-old complex into a state-of-the-art community space in the heart of Brooklyn. Providing New Yorkers with clean, vibrant public spaces helps us deliver on our mission to make our city more livable and equitable.”

The Brownsville Recreation Center originally opened in 1955, has served as a vital community hub. Due to significant damage and deterioration, the center has been partially closed, including its indoor pool and gymnasium. The new facility will be designed with extensive input from the Brownsville community to ensure it meets local needs.

Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso expressed his support for the project, saying, “The Brownsville Recreation Center offers space for central Brooklyn residents to cool off during the summer and to stay mentally and physically active throughout the year. I am thankful to Mayor Adams and NYC Parks for this investment, which gives Brownsville residents the updated center they deserve.”

Assemblymember Latrice Walker, who has been a staunch advocate for the community, stated, “The staff has been working out of the Golden Age wing of the building, while the main part of the building, including the gym and swimming pool, is closed for repairs. The city’s investment in the complete renovation of the BRC is welcome news that I cannot wait to share with the community of Brownsville where I was born and raised.”

During the reconstruction period, NYC Parks will open interim spaces in Brownsville to ensure residents continue to have access to classes and resources. This project is part of a broader effort by the Adams administration to invest in under-resourced communities. In addition to the recreation center, the city will hire 240 additional maintenance and operations staff to improve park cleanliness across all five boroughs.

Reynoso added, “It’s a great day for Brooklyn when community spaces get much-needed upgrades. The investment in the Brownsville Recreation Center and additional cleaning to our city’s parks affirms the Adams administration’s commitment to improving quality of life through vibrant public spaces.”

The press conference, which included a video presentation, underscored the administration’s commitment to creating safer, cleaner, and more livable public spaces for all New Yorkers. This investment is expected to significantly enhance the social and economic well-being of the Brownsville community and beyond.
