The Gus Garcia Recreation Center had its Grand Opening on April 26, 2008---an event long anticipated by the North/Northeast community. The Gus Garcia Recreation Center and park were chosen as part of the 1998 bond election package to develop Austin’s parks and greenbelts. Construction was due to begin in 2001, but a downturn in the local economy forced delays. The City put the Gus Garcia Park and Recreation center back on the list of budgeted projects in 2005, the original amount for funding was $5.5 million. The building was completed in March 2008.

The Center (approximately 20,000 square feet) consists of a gymnasium with six basketball goals and a climbing rock wall. Also, the facility has a fitness center, a computer room, a tiny tot room and an aerobic/dance room.

Programs offered include: Summer Camp (ages 5 – 11), Tiny Tot Program (ages 3 – 5), Young Chefs Camp, Rockin’ at the Rock Wall for Elementary age participants, Computer Craze, indoor soccer (ages 6 – 16), Art Club (all ages), Bicycle Club, Afternoon Specials, Summer Teen Scene, Pilates (for adults), Senior-Cize program for seniors.
