The Mosswood Recreation Center, destroyed by fire in 2016, will reopen to the public with a new two-story facility. The center includes a social hall, classrooms, a kitchen, a computer lab, and a maker space. The redevelopment process involved community feedback and aimed to enhance equity and access in the area. Construction of the $20.8 million center was completed in 2023, revitalizing a space that has served the community since the early 1910s.
"The new, two-story facility has a social hall, classrooms, a kitchen, a computer lab, a 'maker space,' and a terrace, making it larger than the previous building."
"The stated goal was to 'create a vibrant destination for civic, cultural, social, educational, and recreational activities,' reflecting the community's needs."
"Construction began on the projected $20.8 million mass-timber center in 2023 and recently finished, marking a significant investment in community infrastructure."
"Mosswood Park has played host to generations of athletes, picnickers, families, and students, with its basketball courts serving as a training ground for NBA players."
