Wichita’s McAdams Park announced a series of upgrades and renovations to its community center.
The City unveiled plans to triple the size of the center, which includes plans for a new gymnasium.
Improvements to the community center have not been made in decades. The current building was built in the 1950’s, and all the recreation centers were built in the 1960’s.
The new center is named after Carl Brewer who served as Wichita’s mayor from 2007 to 2015 and was Wichita’s first elected African American mayor. Brewer died in June of 2020.
The new center will feature a walking trail, full basketball court, smaller courts, pickleball courts with a spectator viewing area as well as new locker rooms and showers. There will also be a lounge space.
Other features include a dining room with concession kitchen, a mirrored multi-purpose room, ball diamonds and other sporting areas outside, new parking spaces, and a grand entrance.
