Planning for NRH Recreation Center

The City of North Richland Hills is planning for a new recreation center that will be opening in early 2012. We have begun the design process for this state-of-the-art facility, which will be centrally located near the North Richland Hills Public Library.

The new recreation center will offer amenities for all age groups including: a double gymnasium, indoor aquatics, fitness areas, a banquet hall, elevated walk/run track, multi-purpose rooms, pre-school and youth rooms, senior facilities, and a roof top terrace.

The project architect, Brinkley Sargent Architects, is completing the schematic design for the facility and City Council has reviewed the concept development plan which depicts the building “massing”, along with site amenities such as parking and drives.

The recreation center will incorporate sustainable design, achieving LEED certification. LEED certification recognizes that a building will be environmentally friendly by utilizing green building practices during construction.

Your new recreation center will create a civic core and an exciting sense of place within our community. Watch for updates on the new recreation center’s progress in future city newsletters and here on the city’s web site.
