The Audrey Moore Rec Center, the oldest of nine Fairfax County Park Authority recreational centers, will close its doors from Aug. 27 through Sept. 9, 2022, to address pressing facility maintenance needs, as well as its annual, routine pool whitecoat maintenance. 

This year’s longer and complete facility closure will address facility maintenance aimed at improving customer service in the short-term. The shutdown is required for the safety of patrons who might otherwise be exposed to paint and other chemical smells, and ensures continued progress without delay. Planned improvements include a wide array of tasks, such as:  

• Carpet replacement on the second level.
• Main hallway drywall repair and painting and lighting upgrades.
• Remodeling the family changing room, including new tiles.
• Door replacement at pool entrance.
• LED lighting upgrades in some locker rooms and hallways.
• Basketball court flooring repairs.
• Remodeling the pottery studio (painting/drywall repair, sink and counter replacements, floor replacement).
• Fitness center ceiling and lighting upgrades.

 Other custodial tasks to be performed by staff include:

• Cleaning all tables and chairs, mats and other equipment after heavy summer camp use. 
• Scrubbing tile grout lines, cleaning heating, ventilation and air conditioning ceiling vents to improve airflow and appearance, etc.
• Replacing stained ceiling tiles in areas that are not scheduled for full replacement.
• Touch up and/or paint door frames.
• Schedule carpet cleaning in office/front desk area that would be difficult to do while open.
• Stain picnic tables on sundeck. Replace boards as necessary.
• Remove mineral deposits and polish metal and chrome fixtures throughout building.

“We understand closures can be very disruptive, but Audrey Moore needs some serious attention right now,” said Cindy Walsh, director of the Park Services Division. “We ask for your patience as we work to make this facility cleaner, healthier and more attractive.”
