Belmont Freeman Architects

Commissioned by the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation under their Design Excellence program, the Gertrude Ederle Recreation Center (formerly the 59th Street Recreation Center) entails the renovation of a historic 1906 bathhouse and the construction of a 10,500 sf addition. The completed building will contain a swimming pool, gymnasium, fitness center, aerobics studio, new locker rooms, a youth activity center, multi-purpose community rooms, and comfort stations to serve the new park and playground.
