Livonia Community Recreation Center
The Livonia Community Recreation Center has definitely made a mark on the community it serves. Designed in a modernist style with contemporary materials and colors, the center is a reflection of the community’s automobile heritage. This 130,000-s.f. center is one of the largest of its kind in the United States.
The center includes a leisure pool with a lazy river and indoor waterslide, separate eight-lane-by-25-meter competitive lap pool, fitness area, climbing wall, large two-court gymnasium and auxiliary (MAC) gym, walk/jog track, gymnastics room, aerobics room, classrooms, senior lounge, and childcare area.
