New Richardson gymnastics center opens

The City of Richardson celebrated the grand opening of the new 16,000-square-foot, freestanding Richardson Gymnastics Center last week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, demonstrations and building tours. The new facility was funded by the City’s 2010 Bond Program, and the City hopes to achieve LEED certification for the Center in the coming months.

The new Gymnastics Center, located at the southeast corner of Arapaho Road at Grove Road, features a full array of gymnastics equipment and sufficient space and amenities to accommodate regional and state-level gymnastics meets, as well as amateur and competitive gymnastics training and practice. It replaces the previous gymnastics facility, which was housed in the Heights Recreation Center.

The new Richardson Gymnastics Center was built to serve the need of the rapidly growing gymnastics program. The City partnered with Brinkley Sargent Architects and Richardson-based Hill & Wilkinson to design and build the new facility. Additionally, the same design-and-construction team is working to develop the new Heights Recreation Center and Family Aquatics Center, which will be completed later this spring. The project team is seeking LEED Silver certification for the Heights Recreation Center.

In addition to a more modern design, the new Gymnastics Center will offer a significant amount of space for equipment. The facility was also built with a large viewing area for parents, ample bleachers for gymnastics meets and events, and a multipurpose room for meetings, parties and private events, all of which are upgrades compared to the previous facility.
