The end of this summer will mark the fourth consecutive summer without an open recreation center at Williamsbridge Oval Park, the bustling recreational hub of the Bronx’s Norwood neighborhood. That means three summers without an indoor gym, bathrooms or programming.

The center, which closed for renovations in April of 2010, was supposed to open before the summer of 2011. It remains unclear when the center will re-open, but it doesn’t appear to be any time soon.

That doesn’t sit well with the Friends of Williamsbridge Oval Park, a volunteer advocacy group made up of local residents. On Friday, from 4 to 7 p.m., the group plans on bringing attention to the issue with a “peaceful protest” in front of the shuttered rec center. They will be creating posters to place on the fencing that surrounds the center.

Last summer, the Parks Department said the renovations were 70 percent complete and anticipated it being open by the end of the season.

The project is being funded with money set aside as mitigation for using nearby Van Cortlandt Park to house the Croton Water Filtration Plant, which is also delayed and more than $2 billion over-budget. Several projects associated with the mitigation, which amounted to nearly $200 million, are also delayed, over budget or haven’t started yet, according to an audit by the Comptroller’s office.
