facility Important photographers have come to Roosevelt Island to shoot for such magazines as Elle, In Style, Men’s Health, New York, Spin, Sports Illustrated, Vogue and Women’s Wear Daily. Sportspark’s locker room, in fact, was recently used as a location for a major Donna Karan men’s underwear ad campaign.
Production Facility:
Roosevelt Island’s indoor, temperature controlled
sports complex, Sportspark, was used as a sound
stage for Paramount Pictures’ Keeping the
Faith in the summer of 1999. Several
full-scale interior sets were built and shot in the
Sportspark gym for this major feature. With a clear
ceiling height of 23.5 feet, this 8,400 square foot
facility has adjoining changing and rest rooms
containing showers, as well as office space. More
recently Sportspark was also used as a holding and
catering facility for Down to Earth,
Spider-Man, and TV’s Third Watch. |
