Reminder: Meeting for Shoup Park Recreation Center Improvements Set for Thursday

The city will revisit improvements to the Woodland Hills (Shoup Park) Recreation Center with the community at a meeting scheduled for Thursday.

Back in June, the city presented community members with an estimated $8 million redesign proposal at Shoup Park that included demolition of an existing gymnasium and administration building to be replaced with a new gym, multipurpose rooms, an office, kitchen and restrooms.

The project would also include a new outdoor playground for children, seating, planting, landscaping and irrigation.

According to the plans presented in June, an existing pool would remain.

At the time, planners expected improvements to begin early this year and be completed by winter 2014.

The April 11 community meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium at the Woodland Hills Recreation Center at Shoup Park, 5858 Shoup Ave.
