Montgomery County Recreation’s Silver Spring Recreation and Aquatic Center (SSRAC) is scheduled to open in 2023. Located in the Central Business District of Silver Spring this project is part of a public-private partnership with the Housing Opportunity Commission and the Lee Development Group. The first of its kind project will encompass recreation, aquatics, and senior programming all under one roof. SSRAC will include both recreation and leisure activities. Pools are designed for general swimming, low level diving, exercise, aquatic play, training, and more. A gymnasium, exercise and weight room spaces, movement and dance studios, multipurpose activity rooms, public use space, and social space with a culinary arts kitchen are also included.
Construction on the South County Regional Recreation and Aquatic Center began in 2019. It is located at 1315 Apple Ave. in Downtown Silver Spring, in the ‘Central Business District’ of Silver Spring as part of a Public-Private Partnership undertaken with the Housing Opportunity Commission and the Lee Development Group. According to a recent report by Source of the Spring, “This is not just a pool, it’s a monster… It combines an aquatic facility and a large recreation center. We do not have this kind of space down county.”
Members of the community are invited to attend a public forum at the Silver Spring Civic Building, located at 1 Veterans Place, to share their input at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 3. Residents will be given a short presentation followed by the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback. Community members who are unable to attend can complete the survey. Sign language interpreters and other auxiliary aids or services are available upon request, preferably at least three days before the event. Please call 240-777-6840 to request accommodations.
