Armory indoor athletic facility

bephf · September 2008

I heard a lot about the old armory on 8th ave & 15th St getting updated with an indoor track and all sorts of cool stuff. Even seen pictures - http://www.brownstoner.com/brownstoner/archives/2008/02/slope_armory.php

Does anyone know if it's open to the public yet? I can't find any details online.

Thanks!

The Park Slope Armory won’t open until January, 2009 — 10 months after the gorgeously restored building was supposed to be operating.

The city held a ribbon cutting in February when it selected the Prospect Park YMCA to operate the Armory. At the time, officials said that a final contract would be signed quickly so that Y’s team could begin planning programs.

But the contract remains unsigned. “Our plan is to … have our full slate of programming by early 2009,” said YMCA Executive Director Sean Andrews. “[We will] use the summer through the fall to get a handle on what the community wants to see in there, and then fully staff it for 2009.”

MOD NOTE: There is another thread that has a long discussion about the now opened armory. I'm locking this thread and directing traffic over there for the most up-to-date info.
