It has been really exciting seeing the New Northglenn Recreation Center, Senior Center and Theatre slowly rise up from a dirt lot into an 87,887-square-foot facility.

But what will really be exciting is when we can open the doors for everyone to come in – which we can say now should be in early October.

In the meantime, plenty of work is still to be done! Some of the installation in June included:

• Site irrigation
• Play structures at the preschool playground
• New and relocated theatre equipment
• Underlayment of the gymnasium floor
• Outdoor tube slide for the pool
• Also, the new pool is nearly ready for its final finish.

The new center, located behind City Hall just south of the current center, will offer swimming, fitness areas, preschool, arts & culture programming, classes, events and performances and more.
