Congress Heights Recreation Center's Topping Out Ceremony marked a significant milestone as the structure continues to take shape.

The event brought together project partners and trade partners for a beam signing, food, raffles, giveaways, and an ice cream truck to recognize the hard work and dedication that have brought the project to this point.

When complete, the new facility will feature a gymnasium, fitness areas, multipurpose spaces, an e-gaming room, community gathering areas, and enhanced outdoor amenities designed to support recreation, wellness, and community engagement for the Congress Heights community.

Thank you to everyone whose hard work and collaboration have made this milestone possible.
