I’m a sucker for a gym with a balcony
One of the things I’ve been doing when I’m on assignment at high schools I’ve already photographed, is looking for secondary gyms. Some of the cooler gyms I’ve found have been original gyms to a school that are now used main for JV games and practices.
Champaign Central might be the most prominent old gym that’s still used despite having a new one built in 2020. Other schools like Mount Carmel have a mind blowing older gyms, but cramped quarters make them impractical for regular competitive games.
Today I found Oak Lawn High School has a secondary gym, so I’ve updated the Oak Lawn Community High School gym page with some photos of the rarely seen gym.
