(Akron, OH) -- Akron's children have a new place in which to play, thanks to a hometown hero.
Friday afternoon, officials with the LeBron James Family Foundation and the 2K Foundation opened the doors to a newly renovated gymnasium at the Balch Street Community Center.
The new gym is just a few blocks away from the I PROMISE School, an Akron Public Schools facility that opened in late July and is partially funded by the NBA star's charity foundation.
The new gym will reportedly be available for school activities and events.
