Ga. (WTOC) – The City of Savannah has launched a series of gymnasium renovations across four local community centers in an effort to modernize public recreational spaces
Upgrades are underway at the Liberty City, W.W. Law, Tompkins, and J.S. Delaware community centers
City officials say while the individual gymnasium areas will be closed to the public during construction, the community centers themselves will remain open for all other non-gym activities
Renovations will vary by location but include total gym repainting, installation of new gym flooring, and the replacement of old bleachers, scoreboards, and basketball goals
“Our community centers are more than just buildings, they are places where young people learn teamwork, families come together, and neighborhoods are strengthened,” said Savannah Mayor Van R. Johnson, II. “By investing in these gymnasium renovations, we are ensuring that residents across Savannah have safe, modern, and welcoming spaces to play, compete, and connect.”
