The City of Arlington and Arlington Parks and Recreation are excited to announce the grand opening of The Beacon Recreation Center in southeast Arlington on Monday, Sept. 14, 2020. The community is invited to attend the 10 a.m. ribbon-cutting celebration for the 36,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art building.

The celebration will include guest speakers, light refreshments and staff-guided tours. Visitors are asked to observe social distancing guidelines. A mask or face covering is required. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the recreation center will open its doors to the public for the first time.

The celebration will also be streamed-live on The Beacon’s Facebook event page.

The Beacon at Webb Community Park, located 1100 Mansfield Webb Road, offers residents a range of amenities both inside and out for fitness and fun. The design features a lighted, two-story atrium, which provided inspiration for the center’s name.

Amenities include volleyball, pickleball and basketball courts, along with a weight room, fitness studio, community room, indoor track, and kids club center. Outdoor amenities include a turf workout space, Aire Fitness pod, splash pad and playground.
