Grand Prairie, Texas
The Dalworth Recreation Center is a 20,000 SF building addition and remodel that sits within the established Dalworth community of Grand Prairie. The existing building, dating from the 1960's, was a focal point for the community and popular with the youth because of its basketball court. The addition designed by Magee Architects enlarges the basketball court to provide more seating. Other amenities include a game room, fitness room, aerobic room, a large and small meeting room with a catering kitchen, locker rooms, and offices.
The new entrance is oriented toward the parking lot, as well as Daniels Elementary School located across the street. The gym, game room and meeting rooms are organized around a courtyard providing for a future playground. The lobby and gym contain a glass wall over 20' high overlooking the courtyard providing an abundance of natural light.
