Description

Liberty Recreation Center has served as a neighborhood center since 2004; prior to that it was a local YMCA. It is on the south end of a walking track on the same property as Vines High School. It is smaller than Plano’s other centers and serves as more of a neighborhood recreation center than a regional center. The center recently went through an extensive renovation.

Assessment

The recently completed renovation transformed Liberty from an outdated center to a bright and open modern center that addressed most of its previously noted deficiencies. This included an expanded cardio/weight room, new open lobby, a unique gaming/computer area, multipurpose exercise areas, and classrooms. The open lobby could use an acoustical treatment on the ceiling to reduce echo effect. The wall paint type could be changed when walls need repainting. The outdoor pool was not addressed with the renovation and is an area that could be studied to improve its viability.
