Sunday meeting will discuss design, timeline of Mount Vernon RECenter renovation

The Fairfax County Park Authority is holding a community meeting Sunday to discuss the renovation and expansion project planned for the Mount Vernon RECenter.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at the RECenter, which is located at 2017 Belle View Boulevard (see map).

The renovation project is currently in the concept design phase. Preliminary designs and a schedule for the project will be shared at the meeting. 

The Mount Vernon RECenter is well past its lifecycle, according to the Park Authority. The center’s ice rink was opened in 1979, while the aquatic center was built in 1983.

A second ice rink and an expanded fitness center are among the improvements planned for the RECenter. 

The project will be paid for with a Park Authority bond that was passed by voters in 2016.
