City of Stockbridge Selects Site for First Recreation Center
The City of Stockbridge has officially selected a 6.123-acre site at the intersection of North Henry Boulevard and Burke Street for its first municipal recreation center. The decision follows a unanimous vote by the City Council during a September 2026 work session. The facility is designed to serve as a community hub for wellness, learning, and creative programming, with potential features including aquatic facilities, sports areas, STEM spaces, and senior programs. By locating the center near downtown Stockbridge and the VyStar Amphitheater, officials aim to foster economic growth through increased foot traffic and shared parking opportunities. Future steps include developing site designs, launching a community engagement plan, and initiating a request-for-proposals (RFP) process for design work. The project aligns with the city's long-term strategy to enhance quality-of-life initiatives within the Metropolitan Atlanta area.
