facility opening date by Monday or Tuesday of this week.

Anxious Roosevelt Island Sportspark users were disappointed when no announcement was made earlier this week about Sportspark re-opening, but today we learned from Ms. Rosenthal:

ConEd is there as I type. Allegedly, it takes 3 days to hook up the gas. We are hoping for a next Friday opening but I can’t promise until the work is done. Thankfully, the Department of Buildings piece is completed.

Ms Rosenthal emphasized that Sportspark is one step closer to opening but there is not a definite opening date yet. RIOC is hopeful to open by next Friday, but no promises.

As previously reported, Sportspark renovations were to be completed and the facility open last November but were delayed for a variety of reasons including problems scheduling NYC Building Department inspection.

UPDATE 4/6, 5:15 PM - Looks like Sportspark will open Monday April 10. Will have more info soon.

UPDATE 6:30 PM - Confirmed. More info here.
