Work began in April including demolition of the existing building and preparing the surrounding land for the improved outdoor space. We are happy to report that progress on the new community center and park site is going as expected and the work is anticipated to complete in the spring of 2022.
The new center will have two large multipurpose event rooms, a catering kitchen, offices, a game room, activity rooms, computer lab, reception area, lobby and storage.
Improvements to the outdoor space include a new playground, adult fitness equipment, an event lawn, walking trail, community garden, full-sized, lighted basketball court and landscaping.
