Detroit makes $45M investment in neighborhood rec centers
Quote:
Recreation centers around the city are about to get some major upgrades. As part of Detroit's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, the city is investing $45 million into renovating, expanding, and reopening a dozen rec centers.
$30 million will be coming from ARPA, $10 million from city bonds, and $5 million from Roger Penske.
The rec center at Dexter-Elmhurst will be demolished and rebuilt (see first before/after slider below). The $8.5 million project will include indoor sports facilities, a kitchen for events, and community space. It should be completed in 2024.
Chandler Park will see a dome-covered football field added, along with indoor sports center. Construction should start in 2023. Lenox Community Center, also on the city's east side, will become solar-powered. Roger Penske is funding this upgraded rec center as part of the city's Strategic Neighborhood Fund in Jefferson Chalmers. (see last below/after slider)
An expansion at Farwell, with a new gym, lockers, and walking path. Construction should start in spring 2023.
The State Fair Band Shell relocation to Palmer Park. The $10 million city bond-funded improvements will also go toward this project. Construction will happen this year.
The renovation at Adams Butzel will be completed this year, with a roof replacement, HVAC, pool, and locker upgrades.
The Coleman Young rec center will continue renovations to common spaces like the lobby, restrooms, and kitchen and should be completed this summer.
The Butzel Family Rec Center is currently undergoing exterior and interior updates, and will be done next month.
Heilmann has undergone renovations and improvements to the lobby, restrooms, and other areas. This renovation has been completed.
The Patton Rec Center has undergone improvements to its pool and gym, as well as HVAC upgrades. This renovation has been completed.
Crowell will also see interior renovations and landscaping done by next month.
