YOUNG PROFESSIONALS HARD HAT TOUR: NORFOLK RECREATION CENTER & LIBRARY with MEB
Tuesday, June 9, 2026 | 4:00PM – 6:30PM
Constructed on the former Fitness and Wellness Center site, which served as a pillar in the community for decades, this new facility reinvigorates Norfolk’s commitment to wellness and learning, bringing future generations together for years to come.
Inside the facility, the Parks and Recreation and Library municipal departments are combined under one roof. Purposeful amenities support the needs of daily office functions, including a recreation center, natatorium, and public library. Indoor features include a gym, basketball courts, indoor track, locker rooms, competition-level pool, lazy river, splashpad, and collaborative staff areas coexisting with a library, youth programs, and shared gathering areas.
These interior programs are complemented by shared outdoor amenities, taking full advantage of the available grounds and natural features. The site offers an exercise course, nature explorium, tennis courts, pickleball courts, multi-purpose recreation fields, and multiple playgrounds.
**PPE is required for this tour: hard hat, safety vest, safety glasses and steel-toe work boots. Attendees must bring their own. You will not be permitted to join the tour without the mentioned PPE at minimum.**
After the tour, we’ll head over to Makers Craft Brewery for continued networking and project chat!
