AUSTIN, Texas — Construction on the newly redeveloped Montopolis Recreation Center and Community Center has reached substantial completion.
Austin voters approved funding for the East Austin facility in 2012. City leaders say the design for the new facility was developed with extensive input from the Montopolis community beginning in 2014. Construction broke ground in 2018.
The old facility has served Austin residents for more than 40 years. It had deteriorated and was no longer meeting the needs of the growing community. The new facility has 33,000 square feet of space for recreation, public health services, educational programming, and more.
The new center is not yet open to the public due to the coronavirus pandemic, but people can view photos of the facility on the project’s website.
