Construction on the South County Regional Recreation and Aquatic Center (1315 Apple Ave) began in 2019 and is now complete. The new facility, located in Downtown Silver Spring, will hold its grand opening on Saturday, February 24th at 10am and we have a few photos to give you a peek at the facility before the event, courtesy of Montgomery Recreation (additional photos below).
The event planned for Saturday, Feb. 24 and will feature demonstrations, facility tours, activities and more.

The facility includes typical recreation and leisure activities. Pools are designed for general swimming, low level diving, exercise, aquatic play, training and teaching. 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 is included.
