Aviator Sports and Events Center is a not-for-profit sports and events center in Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn, New York City. Operating as a concessionaire of National Park Service, Aviator has refurbished four historic aircraft hangars and surrounding grounds in partnership with the NPS. The area includes 175,000 square feet of indoor sports and event space along with adjoining outdoor turf fields and free parking for 2,000 cars. Aviator provides a variety of sports leagues and activities, including camps, birthday parties, field trips, ice skating, hockey, gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, and soccer.
