After two years of waiting, south Bibb has its very own recreation center.
The doors to the 37,000 square foot center opens Saturday at 10 a.m.
Bibb County's Director of Recreation, Robert Walker says it cost them $7.5 million to build, but they have much more than just a gymnasium to offer.
From a fitness center to a dance studio to four tennis courts and four baseball fields, Walker says this center is a real treat for the community.
"Every striving community has a recreation center and it's a quality of life, so having that there and having somewhere people can go to wind down after work as well as drop your kids off after school and give them something to do is always a plus and gives the parent an opportunity to let go when they can drop their kids off at a rec center," he says.
The recreation center located on Houston Road and is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
