The Audrey Moore Rec Center was the first rec center constructed by the Fairfax County Park Authority in 1977 and has been a cornerstone of the community for almost 50 years. The 76,000-square-foot facility is undergoing a transformative renovation. The project scope includes an expanded fitness area and programing space; a warm water pool to serve people with disabilities, seniors and children; an Olympic-size competition pool; a child care center; and an expanded senior center in partnership with Neighborhood and Community Services.
Construction is expected to begin in late spring 2028, with an estimated completion in winter 2030.
