To: The National Park Service, Local and State Officials, and the Aviator Sports Management Team

We, the undersigned, call upon the National Park Service and all relevant decision-makers to take action to prevent the closure of the Aviator Sports and Events Center, a critical recreational facility serving Brooklyn and beyond.

For years, Aviator has been more than just a sports complex—it has been a home for youth sports, families, and local athletes. It provides ice Hockey, Figure Skating, Basketball, Soccer, Gymnastics, Volleyball and countless other programs that enrich our community, promote health and wellness, and give young athletes a place to grow.

Shutting down Aviator would have devastating consequences:

    •    Hundreds of young athletes and families would lose access to affordable, high-quality sports programs.

    •    Local schools and leagues would lose a key venue for training and competitions.

    •    Brooklyn would lose a community hub that fosters teamwork, discipline, and lifelong friendships.

We urge the National Park Service and city officials to work together to find a solution that allows Aviator to remain open and continue serving our community. Whether through lease renegotiations, zoning discussions, or community partnerships, we need action now to protect this essential space.

Please sign this petition and stand with us in saving Aviator Sports and Events Center!
