Community/Recreation Center

Project Category:

Site:

Town Center Core Area

Recreation Center/Community Center focal point- improve program offerings (i.e. gym, multi-purpose rooms, senior & youth programs, indoor activities, office/storage space)

Description:

Picture/Map:

This project would allow the Town to provide a variety of recreation opportunities including expanded program space for seniors, teens and youth programs and camps. By including the gymnasium, the Town could stop renting gym space in Cary fromWake County Schools and provide expanded activities here in Morrisville. The master plan recommends additional indoor recreation space and developing diverse and unique facility offerings to provide programming, active and passive recreation opportunities that appeal to a range of users. Based on the current level of service, the Master Plan recommends the Town add approximately 45,000 square feet of indoor recreation space within the next ten years, with this facility accommodating at least 40,000.

Justification:

This project scope will be impacted by development of the Town Center Project and will require some flexibility in site location as the Town Center design is determined. There are many unknown factors at this time that will influence this project. This is a later phase in the Town Center Core planning.
