Paid for with a grant from the NFL 2014 Super Bowl Snowflake Foundation, the space includes rowing machines, a climbing wall, a volleyball court, a robotics course, and gives students and teachers the opportunity to simply walk outside in what is known as one of the most distressed neighborhoods in New York.

The Theresa and Edward O’Toole Foundation supplemented updating the indoor facilities with a generous grant.
