Sound the trumpets! After many years of planning, followed by three years of construction, the huge, 121,000-square-foot Ashburn Recreation Center is complete, and county staff are preparing to open its doors.
The big day will be Thursday, July 31. A ceremony at 6 p.m. will commemorate the event, and then the doors will open for area residents to explore the two-story facility. It includes a 50-meter competition pool, a leisure pool, a spa, a full-size gymnasium, a sensory room, a teaching kitchen, a licensed preschool and childcare classrooms.
There are also fitness areas, a running track and a cycling studio, while outside there’s a trail around the property, a large courtyard with seating, a splash play area and a playground.
The rec center will open for regular hours starting on Friday, Aug. 1, and will be free that first weekend – Friday to Sunday. After that, regular Loudoun County fees apply. Guests can purchase day admission passes or a monthly membership.
