Locals Give Input on Arlington Community Center Renovation

ARLINTON, VA-In preparation for the redevelopment of its popular Arlington Community Center, the Arlington County Department of Parks, Recreation and Community resources has conducted the first of seven community forums to gather input on the project from local residents. The 82,900-sf building at 4975 Columbia Pike will be torn down and replaced with a new facility.

“This is the first step,” Department Spokesperson Kathryn Holmes Johnson explains to GlobeSt.com. “We’re looking to get the input of the community about the facility itself, and we’re also engaging the community about actual programming and what will be going on inside the building.” The center will offer recreation space as well as education and community programs.
