More Than a Place to Play
Community. By Design.
Chilltown Sports & Recreation is a temporary community recreation facility operated by Greenville Sports Renewal, a New Jersey nonprofit corporation. During this interim period, while long-term plans for the Sacred Heart campus continue to develop, the gym has been activated to provide affordable recreation, bring people together, and help generate revenue that supports the stewardship of this historic property. Revenue from rentals, leagues, clinics, tournaments, and events helps offset the costs of maintaining, securing, and preserving the campus so it remains an asset to the community today and for future generations.
