Officials with the City of Huntsville will break ground this week on the new John Hunt Park Recreation Center — a 60,580-square-foot facility next to Joe Davis Stadium.
Here are the details:
Rec center plan includes new amenities
The new facility will be located north of Joe W. Davis Stadium on about 8.5 acres.
The John Hunt Park Recreation Center will include:
- Four full-size gymnasiums providing practice and competition space for basketball, volleyball and futsal.
- A concession area and restrooms will connect the gyms to the main building, which will feature a fitness room, two multipurpose activity rooms and office space.
- 25 outdoor, lighted pickleball courts designed for competitive play, including tournaments.
“John Hunt Park is an incredible asset. It makes sense to have a recreation center be part of this growing area. This design gives us the ability to offer citizens more programs, more fitness options, and more athletic space.”
James Gossett, director, Huntsville Parks + Recreation
The cost of the architectural contract with William M. Boehme & Associates is $801,978.50. Bostick Landscape Architects will handle the landscaping for the project.
