The new community recreation center and senior center located at 13850 Travilah Road, Rockville has been officially named the Nancy H. Dacek North Potomac Community Recreation Center.
The facility is named in honor of the late Nancy H. Dacek who served as a 12-year member of the County Council representing Upcounty, District 2, from 1990 until 2002. Following her service to council she served for more than a decade on the Montgomery County Board of Elections appointed by Governors Bob Ehrlich and Martin O’Malley.
The new facility, scheduled to open this fall, will be a full-service community recreation center and senior center. The center, located on 17 acres, will include a gymnasium, exercise room, social hall, kitchen, senior/community lounge, arts/kiln room, game room, and more. The Recreation Department continues to work with the community to develop a broad schedule of programs, activities and services.
The Departments of General Services and Recreation will announce the date for the public ribbon-cutting ceremony at a later date.
