New $92 million recreation center for Staten Island delayed: Here's why
Briefly

The opening of the $92 million Mary Cali Dalton Recreation Center in Tompkinsville, Staten Island, has been postponed to spring 2026 due to the discovery of an unmapped private street. This issue hindered Consolidated Edison from providing permanent power to the site. The city has since mapped the street as Cromwell Promenade, but the delay has pushed the estimated completion date significantly. The center, replacing the old George Cromwell Recreation Center, aims to be a community hub for residents.
The delay in electrical work has pushed the estimated completion date from the end of this year to spring 2026.
The Mary Cali Dalton Recreation Center will be a community hub where Staten Islanders can learn, play, and enjoy public space together.
The city has since corrected the problem, mapping the street as Cromwell Promenade, which had previously caused delays.
City officials broke ground on the site in February 2024, replacing the old George Cromwell Recreation Center torn down in 2013.
