Of the twelve acres that make up the campus of Staten Island Academy, half of them are dedicated to athletics fields, three tennis courts, two swimming pools, a playground, and two outdoor patios.

OJ Buck Gymnasium
The OJ Buck Gymnasium opened in 1965 and is named in honor of OJ Buck, an Academy student-athlete who was killed in World War II. The gymnasium is 95 feet by 75 feet and is the home court of the Academy Tigers Basketball and Volleyball Teams. The Baseball and Softball Teams also use the Gymnasium batting cage for practice, and students from Pre-K through Grade 12 use the gymnasium for PE classes, team sports practice, and dance. The upper level of the gymnasium also includes the Academy Fitness Center, a full gym, equipped with free and resistance weights, treadmills, and a stretching area, which both students and faculty members may use. The main entrance to the gymnasium is located on Buttonwood Road. See the gymnasium on the interactive campus map.

The Alexander Robbins Steinman Memorial Field
The Academy fields are named in honor of Alexander Robbins Steinman ‘86 a beloved Academy graduate and student-athlete who was killed in the September 11 attacks. The Steinman fields were completely renovated and “re-sodded” in 2005 thanks to the generosity of the Steinman family. In addition to a small memorial patio, the fields now include: a soccer field, baseball diamond, separate softball diamond, and lacrosse field. The fields are large enough that both the Academy Baseball and Softball teams can play at the same time.

Off-Campus Facilities
The Academy uses the swimming pools at the Staten Island JCC (Jewish Community Center) during the winter months. Students are shuttled from the Academy campus to the JCC for elective swimming lessons, a unit of the PE program. The school also plays its competitors at a variety of off-campus sites.
