After several setbacks and years of work, the Red Hook Recreation Center reopened its doors and ball fields for residents looking for outdoor activities.

The Environmental Protection Agency shut down four fields in 2015.

Two weeks before the center was set to reopen its doors in September last year, the rains from Ida took out the facility’s boiler.

NYC Parks Deputy Commissioner for Urban Park Service and Public Programs Margaret Nelson says the center reopened on Jan. 31 after a temporary mobile heating unit was installed.
