A Manhattan Recreation Center With Courts And A Media Lab
Membership unlocks a gym, outdoor courts, a fitness room, and a media lab inside one Catherine Street playground.
🏀 Courts, Gym, And Lab
Alfred E. Smith Recreation Center packs more into one block than most neighborhood gyms. This Manhattan recreation center sits inside Alfred E. Smith Playground, pairing an indoor gymnasium and outdoor basketball courts with a fitness room and a community media lab.
The mix suits households that split their interests. One person can take court time or pickleball while another heads for the media lab, and the calendar adds seasonal programs, camps, and member activities across the year. Joining is the way in, with membership opening the gym, courts, fitness room, and lab under one card.
Weekday hours run Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 8 PM, which leaves room for an after work session. Saturday opens at half past eight in the morning and closes at half past three in the afternoon, and Sunday is closed. Find the center at 80 Catherine Street, then check the seasonal calendar before signing up for a program.
