NEW YORK, N.Y. – Based on the ongoing spread of COVID-19 in New York City and Connecticut, and on the advice of public officials who are strongly urging social distancing, we have made a decision to temporarily close the sports, fitness and recreation businesses at Chelsea Piers, Chelsea Piers Fitness and Chelsea Piers Connecticut effective tonight at 12:01AM, March 13, 2020. The current closure announcement is through March 31, 2020.
We regret having to make this decision but believe that, given the circumstances, temporarily closing is in the best interest of our Chelsea Piers community and necessary to responsibly respond to the COVID-19 health crisis in our city and nation. We did not make this decision lightly and recognize the inconvenience it will cause our valued customers and members. However, our overarching concern is the health of our community.
Chelsea Piers is in uncharted waters; but we’re optimistic that the spirit that helped New Yorkers through 9/11 and Superstorm Sandy will serve us well as we collectively work to be part of the solution to this unique challenge.
Chelsea Piers will continue to monitor the situation and follow the recommendations of city, state and federal health professionals, with the hope of reopening as soon as possible. For updates regarding the closure, please visit our website, www.chelseapiers.com/updates.
Please understand that we are doing our best to respond to the many questions of our customers and members. We will post an FAQ section on our website as soon as possible.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
