Hangman's Wellness Center (Compilation) < on 10/12/2018 2:20 AM > | Reply with Quote
Last year I made a thread for this derelict fitness and recreation center overlooking the Peconic Bay. Having first spotted this small building on a drive past several years ago, it surprised me as a hidden gem of a location. Its future now uncertain, I'm making this thread as a documentation of its state from three visits over the past year.
I discovered not long after my first visit that this outdoor pool was once an indoor pool.
It also had its own dock, presumably for use by the Scuba club. Destroyed in Hurricane Sandy.
Looks like the sign is an indicator of how high the building floods.
Just when we thought we'd seen everything, I pushed open a door at the back to find a big gym, with divisions for racquet courts and locket areas. Too dark to get many pictures, unfortunately.
The daycare tucked away in a back room was pretty creepy. Made even weirder by the fact that we'd all walked right past the door on the first two visits. I didn't even know we'd missed something until months later, when I noticed the door on the right of the following picture.
So that's it for this place. Though plans have allegedly been set in stone for the property since 2016, so far nothing has gone forward. The latest plan I've heard involves keeping the main structure, which would certainly be interesting to see. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoyed taking a look. If you want to seek it out yourself, it's visible for full members on the DB.

So I took a trip back earlier this week, but unfortunately it appears to have been sealed up pretty tight. Even the second-floor windows have been boarded, with the pool covered and fenced off. It seems that only the shower/locker room area remains accessible, which had me hopeful that the main building could be entered through the sloped hallway that connects them, but no such luck.

Decided to go back today. It was open once again. Although I didn't see anyone, I have a suspicion that there are people living/lurking in here. I was kind of on edge walking around inside. I didn't feel like that the previous times I've been here.

I was there alone once in late 2018 and thought I could hear movement inside as I approached. I called out several times while inside and didn't get a response, though I did hear the occasional noise from the gym, which I didn't enter. On the way out, there was a bike chained to a pole. Between all that and the comforter/pillows on the couch in the scuba lounge, I wouldn't be surprised if someone is or was living there.
