A new chapter for East Flatbush begins as a major community anchor facility opens its doors. Union contractors and carpenters with the New York City District Council of Carpenters built the Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center, delivering a 74,000 square foot, $141 million facility designed to serve generations.
Now the largest recreation center in Brooklyn and the first new Parks facility in Central Brooklyn in more than a decade, the building features a competition pool, gymnasium, walking track, fitness areas, and dedicated youth programming spaces.
Union contractors and carpenters completed concrete work and installed architectural metal and glass, flooring, exterior wall systems, partitions, and specialty systems throughout the project. Supported by rigorous training, disciplined safety standards, and accountable performance, the workforce delivered a durable, high performing public facility built to meet the needs of the community today and well into the future.
