Muldoon Fitness Center

The Muldoon Fitness Center is the official home of the Rivier Raiders. The 15,485 square foot facility was built in 1984 with a substantial bequest from Pelham resident Teresa Quigley Muldoon. The Center provides indoor space for basketball, floor hockey, indoor soccer and volleyball, as well as a weight training room.

The new Muldoon Fitness Room is complete and ready to open.

1. The fitness room will be open ONLY during scheduled hours when there is a monitor there to supervise.
