New recreation center provides activities for Decatur residents

A new recreation center in Oakhurst is providing residents with opportunities to stay active. Located at 231 Sycamore St., where the old Boys & Girls Club stood, the Decatur Recreation Center officially opened this past August with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The center includes meeting rooms with Wi-Fi, a gym with bleacher seating for up to 200 people and volleyball and basketball courts, and a studio with a mirrored wall for dance movement classes. A media center, playground and community garden are on the lower level.

Space is available to rent for events and is open for public use Monday through Saturday.
