The eagerly anticipated reopening was delayed due to national supply chain issues plaguing the building industry, but residents will be happy to know the facility will reopen with regular hours from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week.

Maricopa County has granted a temporary certificate of occupancy as the Rec Centers are still waiting on the arrival of the glass for the arched windows. The spa will remain closed until further notice.

Area residents who have seen renovations occur at the other three recreation centers over the last few years were excited to see Beardsley come up for upgrades more recently, including lighting upgrades last year that greatly enhanced the interior brightness, and the lobby enclosure this year.

This latest project includes:

• Removing the old fountains and water features in the back area and replacing them with a concrete deck and stylish rubber flooring

• Painting the pool and spa area with a new graphic design and color scheme.

• Creating a weather-proof lobby by enclosing the old open-air entrance with custom-sized arched glass windows and air-conditioning. Creating a new monitor station within the new lobby.

• Painting and adding a graphic element to the long fitness hallway.
