Reopen the Metropolitan Recreation Center in Williamsburg — We’ve Waited Long Enough

Recent signers:
Doug Safranek and 19 others have signed recently.

The Issue

The Metropolitan Recreation Center on Bedford Ave has been closed for several months, leaving thousands of Williamsburg residents without access to a vital public space! NYC Parks originally promised improvements, but timelines have slipped, and communication has been minimal.

We, the residents and supporters of North Brooklyn, urge NYC Parks and city officials to prioritize the full reopening of the Metropolitan Recreation Center — with clear timelines, transparency, and accountability.

This center is more than a building. It’s a lifeline for local families, seniors, and young people. We deserve a timeline we can count on, and a public commitment to seeing it through.

Sign this petition to demand immediate action and a public update on the reopening.
