RICHMOND, Va. — A $20 million, 30,000-square-foot community center is now open in South Richmond, offering a wide range of activities and facilities for residents of all ages.
The new T.B. Smith Community Center in the Davee Gardens neighborhood replaces a smaller facility nearby.
Inside, visitors will find a computer lab and kitchen facilities. The outdoor area includes a playground, basketball courts, and a field that can accommodate softball and football games.
The center will host special events, tournaments, summer camps, and after-school programs throughout the year.
Beyond recreation, the facility is also designed to serve as an emergency response building when needed.
The center was funded by about $20 million from a COVID-era American Rescue Plan Act grant. About $800,000 went toward green technology, including solar panels.
