Formerly a city-run community center, Abbott is now in the hands of the non-profit group Community First. Abbott stays hopping year round with a variety of programs for school-age children. In the evenings the building, including its gym, game room and fitness room, is open to the public, although a paying membership is required. Golden Gloves amateur boxing takes place at Abbott on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. Abbott is located at SE 10th and Indiana, just west of Samuel Jackson Park.
