Sylacauga Parks and Recreation is advancing several significant community upgrades, including new basketball and pickleball courts to be constructed on the former swimming pool site near Sylacauga High School. Additional projects include a request for a new playground at Beth Yates Park, reopening the Verlie B. Collins Center in partnership with the Sylacauga Housing Authority, and youth sports programs serving around 400 children. The department is also designing a new recreation center featuring indoor courts, a pool, fitness facilities, and meeting spaces.
These initiatives reflect a strong commitment to enhancing health, fitness, and family activities in Sylacauga by providing more recreational options and gathering spaces. As these projects progress, the community can expect improved facilities that support active lifestyles and social engagement, with further updates to be shared publicly.
