Many Ashburn residents are eagerly awaiting for construction to start on the new Ashburn Recreation and Community Center that will be built off Broadlands Boulevard, near the Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm restaurant. Now, the county has shared an update on the project’s progress.
The last round of design elements to the rec center are being finalized and added to the plans. County officials say the design work is 95 percent done, including final decisions on equipment and building systems. The county believes it will begin advertising for construction bids in Spring/Summer 2021 with a target of construction starting in Fall 2021.
The Burn first unveiled the eye-opening renderings and plans back in September 2019. Today’s update says the project calls for “a 115,000-square-foot recreation and community center on Broadlands Boulevard, west of the intersection with Claiborne Parkway. The two-story facility will feature a 50-meter competition pool, leisure pool, spa, full-size gymnasium, soft sensory play room, multipurpose room with a catering and teaching kitchen, classrooms, offices and meeting spaces. The second floor will include fitness areas, running track, spectator seating for the competition pool and viewing area for the leisure pool. Additional features include a multi-use trail around the property, a large courtyard with seating, a splash play area and playground equipment.”
As with so many projects of this magnitude, things move slower than initially forecast. County officials originally hoped to break ground sometime in 2020, but that target got pushed. Once construction starts, the estimated build time was 30 months — which would mean if construction starts in Fall 2021, work should be completed sometime in mid-2024.
I think the map is flipped. The greenway should be to the left of the new rec center and Broadlands Blvd is on the right side.
Hi Paul. I don’t understand your comment. The map appears correct to us.
IT’S A BET EARLY BUT WILL THIS BE FREE FOR ASHBURN RESIDENTS??
On the map, Do you know what the significance of the dashed red line around the inner solid red line is?
The dashed line seems to encompasses the existing Royal Farm and Lidl businesses, along with the Van Meter office space and what looks like some of the Clyde’s owned property.
PAULZ is simply incorrect.

I hope it will provide aqua classes.
