Posted on June 23, 2023 at 9:36 AM by Heidi Kellum

The new Ashburn Recreation and Community Center, currently under construction off of Broadland’s Boulevard in Ashburn, is taking shape. Crews are completing the remaining steel works on all areas of the building, which now features two floors and a roof line. Work to rough-in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems throughout is underway. 

In addition to progress on the community center side of the building, construction on the competition pool has also begun. Excavation for the pool has been completed and crews are currently preparing to pour the concrete floor and sides.  

This project is in the construction phase, currently on schedule for completion in summer 2025. When construction is substantially complete, the facility will be turned over to the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) for programming. More information about Loudoun County Capital Projects and phases is provided at loudoun.gov/capitalprojects.

The Ashburn Recreation and Community Center project is a 117,000-square-foot recreation and community center off of 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 playroom, multipurpose room with a catering and teaching kitchen, classrooms, offices and meeting spaces. 

Additional features include a multi-use trail around the property, a large courtyard with seating, a splash play area and playground equipment.

Loudoun County invites members of the public to attend a topping out ceremony for the Ashburn Recreation and Community Center, on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. The ceremony—a tradition in construction—symbolizes the completion of structural steel installation, which is marked by invited guests signing the final steel beam that is then placed into the structure. The event will take place at the end of Van Metre Drive near the Ashburn Recreation Center construction site in Ashburn. 

Members of the Board of Supervisors and representatives of the Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure, which is building the facility, and the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS), which will manage the facility when construction is completed, will be on hand for the celebration and to sign the steel beam. 

The project will construct a 117,000-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 with spectator seating, leisure pool, spa, full-size gymnasium, large fitness area, running track, soft sensory playroom, multipurpose room with a catering and teaching kitchen, classrooms, offices and meeting spaces. 

The gymnasium will be the largest in the county’s PRCS system and will include game line markings for basketball, volleyball and pickleball courts. Outside, the center will include a multi-use trail around the property, a large courtyard with seating, a splash play area and playground equipment. Construction is currently estimated for completion in summer 2025.
