WE GOT IN SHAPE for you!
The Recreation Center of Highland Park was a busy place this year as fitness
members and residents watched the center transform into a new and improved
space for their workouts.
Since April, construction crews expanded the
fitness floor, created a new stretching area,
relocated and built a new group exercise
studio and personal training studio, and
updated the fitness reception and lobby
areas. The result, a new state-of-the-art
Recreation Center of Highland Park!
With a boom in popularity for our fitness
programs the Recreation Center was bursting
at the seams. Over the past three years,
membership at the Rec Center increased by
14%. But how do you make more space for
your users using the same square footage?
“We were very creative with the space and
the footprint,” said Mitch Carr, the general
manager of the Rec Center. “Our architectural
team at Woodhouse Tinucci maximized the
space we have and created an exceptional
design.” Survey feedback from members
helped the team pinpoint areas that required
the most improvement. Here are the exciting
changes that have come to the Rec Center!
