Abilene to open two new recreation centers and libraries
The city of Abilene is to celebrate the Grand Opening of the new Sears and G.V. Daniels recreation centers and branch libraries Wednesday at Arthur Sears Park and Carver Park. The new recreation centers replace the outdated facilities at the parks and offer a new, modern and intentional family-friendly design featuring space for exercise classes, gaming, an indoor walking track and more. "One of the things that we really focused on in these buildings is openness and line of sight," said Lesli Andrews, Abilene's director of parks and recreation. "That way, if a child has a practice in the gym, say for volleyball, basketball, or something, the parent can go either into the activity room and participate in a class or into the fitness room and walk on a treadmill and still see into the gym so they know what's happening. They can keep their eye on their child." The new recreation centers are each identical in design and include a fitness room, multi-purpose room, activity room, classrooms, indoor track and a new gaming room, a space for both e-games and physical games. "There are UIL competitions that are gaming now in the junior high and high school levels," said
