Adult Active Center

ACTIVE ADULT CENTER

Expected to be completed in 2025, the Active Adult Center will strive to enhance the life of seniors throughout Arlington.

Arlington voters approved general obligation bonds in the amount of $45 million in a May 6, 2017 vote, to build an Active Adult Center. Current plans call for the facility to be across the street from the West Police Station, and located on the southwest corner of the current Pierce Burch Water Treatment site off of Green Oaks Blvd. (between W. Arkansas Ln. and W. Pioneer Pkwy).

Senior programming for the Parks and Recreation department is served by Eunice Activity Center (currently closed) and The East Library and Recreation Center, both located in east Arlington.

Amenities of the recreation center could include full-court gymnasium, aquatics component for both water exercise and leisure, locker rooms, fitness area, walking track, multi-purpose rooms for educational programs/events or sedentary activities, special events space, outdoor patio. All amenities and program offerings will be determined by available budget.

The design phase of the facility resumed in 2021. Construction is anticipated to begin February 2023, with an anticipated project completion date of February 2025.
