The Mount Vernon Rec Center has been a cornerstone of the community for more than 42 years. Thanks to voter-approved Park Bonds in 2008, 2016, and 2020, the facility is undergoing a transformative 75,000-square-foot expansion. The renovation includes a two-story fitness center, additional multipurpose spaces, a pool, a climbing wall, an indoor track, comprehensive building upgrades and a second NHL-sized ice rink. The newly renovated facility is on track to reopen in May 2025.

For ongoing updates about the project and to access related materials, visit the Mount Vernon Rec Center Renovation webpage.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the future of the Mount Vernon Rec Center and how it will continue to serve as a vital resource for Fairfax County residents for years to come.
