Rock Hill residents looking to shoot some hoops or rally a badminton game may need to adjust their schedules for the coming weeks. The City of Rock Hill announced key dates for temporary closures of local recreation facilities due to improvement projects, and these dates are important to note for regular visitors. According to an update on their official website, the Boyd Hill Center will not be accessible from August 4th to 12th, as the parking lot is set to undergo repaving work.
Additionally, the Emmett Scott Center gym will commence a longer hiatus, shuttering its doors from next Monday through September 19th for a complete replacement of the gym floor. While the recreation center will remain open, the gym closure is expected to displace regular programs for an approximate duration of six weeks. As stated on the city’s website, participants are encouraged to "check with your instructor" for schedule updates or temporarily locate to alternate sites for their activities.
For those looking to keep active during these closures, alternative locations have been suggested by the city. Patrons are welcome to use the facilities at Boyd Hill Recreation Center, Northside Recreation Center, and the Rock Hill Sports and Event Center, which will help to ensure that residents have options to continue their recreational pursuits uninterrupted.
The funding for the improvements to the Emmett Scott Center gym floor comes courtesy of the Rock Hill Parks Foundation, a detail that the city was keen to share. In their appreciation, they expressed thanks on the website: "Thanks to the Rock Hill Parks Foundation for funding assistance for the replacement of the Emmett Scott Center gym floor!" These enhancements reflect an ongoing commitment to maintaining and updating community amenities for the benefit of all. Keep an eye out for schedule updates and further announcements, which will be posted on the city’s website and shared via their social media platforms @rockhillprt.
