 | | In September 1998, Irvington Mayor Sara B. Bost and National Basketball Association All-Star Chris Gatling opened a new recreation facility, named for the basketball player, in the restored former Police Athletic League building. |
 | | The Chris Gatling Recreation Center is providing structured recreational, athletic, educational and cultural programs that have not been available since the PAL facility closed in February 1994. |
 | | Gatling, who grew up in Irvington and had played basketball at the PAL, initially donated $25,000 for the project. |
