Planning for Doylestown Township’s new recreation center is well underway with hope for groundbreaking in June, said officials.
“We’re moving along and we’re very excited,” township parks and recreation director Karen Sweeney said.
The ambitious $10 million project’s launch is expected to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the community’s expansive Central Park, said Stephanie Mason, the township’s manager.
With approximately 17,000 square feet, the center will be built along Wells Road where the township building is and will replace current tennis and basketball courts.
The highly anticipated recreational space will include one large room, which can be divided into three smaller spaces, as needed, for various classes and programs, athletic activities, meetings and birthday celebrations. Across the hall, there’ll also be a kitchen for cooking classes and party preparations.
An 84-foot by 50-foot gym will play a major role in the center. Whether you enjoy basketball, pickle ball or volleyball, the gym can accommodate your favorite sport.
