As previously reported:
... Concerns have been expressed recently by some Roosevelt Island residents regarding the closing, even temporary, of the Sportspark facility when the Steam Plant closes...
In response to questions raised by a Roosevelt Island resident regarding the status of Sportspark, RIOC Community Relations Assistant Anna Rankin wrote
Sportspark Temporary Heating System Update

The contract for the construction of Sportspark’s temporary heating system has been finalized and sent out for signature. Once the contract is signed, a notice to proceed will be issued by the end of this month. Installation of the piping and boiler system is scheduled to be completed 45 days after the notice is issued. Actual closure time for Sportspark, if any, will be less than two weeks. RIOC is committed to keeping Sportspark open and available to the community as much as possible.
We should learn more today about the status of the Steam Plant and Sportspark following the Real Estate Advisory Committee meeting.
