During the event, attendees can enjoy self-guided tours of the Southern Recreation Center and Lehigh Trailhead, giving them an up-close look at the state-of-the-art facilities and recreational spaces that promote health, wellness, and community engagement. Staff will be available to answer questions and share information about the projects.
The facility boasts a Community Building with offices, restrooms, locker rooms with showers, kitchen dining space, public access to 2 multi-purpose rooms, lobby space, an exterior patio, and a balcony. In addition, the facility's exterior features twelve pickleball courts, six of which are covered for year-round use.

The park enhancements feature a state-of-the-art restroom building, community gardens with six ADA plots and 12 standard plots, a large and small dog park, ADA-compliant paved parking lot with over 70 new spaces, enhanced lighting, utilities, pavilions, benches, and sidewalks.
