The facility officially reopens tomorrow. The upgraded center now features a new regulated gym floor, a large workout facility and a renovated swimming pool.
The center also includes a large music studio to honor Chick Webb's legacy as a musician. City leaders said community members played a vital role in designing the new space.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said these investments are critical for the community.
"Rec centers saved lives. I know it saved my life. It saved so many other people, and now we're allowing that to happen for another generation of young people," Scott said.
