GRAND OPENING SOON! TERRELL RECREATION CENTER
Construction at Stephen G. Terrell Recreation Center is in the home stretch, with an anticipated Grand Opening in late 2023. When it comes to Allen Parks and Recreation facilities, none will have the wide variety of amenities like Terrell Recreation Center.
Residents, locals and visitors will enjoy a large fitness floor, outdoor fitness deck, indoor adventure track (with flat and inclined options), batting cages, multi-sport courts and plenty of leisure spaces. Kids will love exploring the three-story play structure and parents will relish having a supervised playroom on-site. The fitness areas will include equipment from Hammer Strength, Precor, BeaverFit and Life Fitness brands.
This 149,000 sq ft facility is located at 1680 W. Exchange Parkway (just east of Ridgeview Drive). Be one of the first to experience the Terrell Recreation Center by enrolling in an individual or family monthly membership. Plans for the Grand Opening celebration will be announced soon. Make sure you are tuned in to celebrate with us!

On Nov. 7, Allen voters will consider five propositions to fund major community projects through general obligation bonds. The propositions will not result in any tax rate increase, even if voters approve them all.
WHAT’S ON THE BALLOT?
Voters will consider funding the following projects using $156.5 million in general obligation bonds. Because Allen is still growing and adding new properties to the tax roll, no tax rate increase is expected to be needed to repay the debt. Propositions will appear at the end of your ballot in the order below. Ballot language is bold and italicized.
