Aviator Sports Center Remains Open Amid Closure Concerns
The Aviator Sports and Events Center at Floyd Bennett Field, initially slated to close its doors on Monday, has unexpectedly remained operational, with ongoing lacrosse games and families continuing their activities. However, this temporary relief has not alleviated the frustrations of many parents who are increasingly dissatisfied with the lack of clear communication from city and federal officials regarding the facility’s status.
“It’s very sad that this had to be dragged to the last day,” expressed Mila Polishchuk, a mother of two young athletes. She noted a significant decline in offerings since the center’s peak, mentioning that gymnastics and her son’s basketball team are no longer available, leaving the facility half empty amidst uncertainty.
Amidst the confusion, multiple meetings have taken place today between the National Park Service and Mayor Eric Adams’ administration in hopes of finding a resolution. Parents are eager for answers, as the absence of communication heightens their concerns regarding the future of their children’s sports activities at the center.
News 12 has reached out to both the mayor’s office and the National Park Service seeking clarification, but as of yet, no updates or responses have been provided. The ongoing situation at the Aviator Sports and Events Center underscores a broader issue of communication and transparency between officials and the community they serve, raising questions about the future direction of this popular recreational venue. As families continue to utilize the facility for now, the hope remains that a clear path forward will be established soon.
