A Grand Celebration!

May 8, 2019

Hundreds attended the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony of the Acworth Community Center (4361 Cherokee St.) April 25. The celebration ceremony included remarks from city and county officials before the doors of the highly-anticipated facility officially opened.
The 44,000-square-foot community center features a large gymnasium with a raised walking track, classroom, group exercise room, offices and the Tanyard Creek Overlook banquet hall. The gymnasium has two full basketball courts and is lined for volleyball and pickleball. This was a jointly-funded SPLOST project between Cobb County and the City of Acworth.
Alderman Butch Price told the crowd this is the kind of facility he always wanted to see come to fruition when he oversaw the parks and recreation department during the 1970s, but never dreamed it would be this nice.
The center’s normal operating hours are 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays. www.acworth.org.
