The facility will be in active use during the opening event, with games in the gymnasium, special demonstrations of arts and athletics and special activities for children.
"We're encouraging families to come out and see our new Community Center," said Parks & Recreation Director Larry Bailey. "We're going to have activities all through it. It's going to be an interactive type of day, more than just coming and looking at a new building."
The Parks & Recreation staff recently moved most classes and other programs into the new structure, and it is already in use, meaning it will be fully functional during the Grand Opening.
"It's going to be quite a celebration," said Town Manager Steve Biggs, who has long championed upgrades to the town's recreational facilities. "I believe residents will be impressed with what they see."
The staff moved into the new 30,000-sq.-ft. complex some time ago, but getting started with classes and programs there, as well as the official opening, was delayed until recently while streets and traffic control near the facility were upgraded to safely handle the anticipated traffic flow.
In addition to classrooms and a gymnasium, the complex also features a childcare center, an indoor elevated walking track and a lighted patio suitable for events and receptions.
The Department's old facilities will be the new home of the Parks & Recreation maintenance staff.
