Mark your calendars. The grand reopening of the newly expanded and renovated Sam Johnson Recreation Center for Adults 50+ will take place at 10 a.m. on Monday, March 18*. Attendees will have an opportunity to tour the facility immediately following the ribbon cutting. *Please note, the Gazebo Cafe will open at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19.

Formerly the Plano Senior Recreation Center, City Council members unanimously approved the renaming of the facility to honor Plano’s own Sam Johnson, a decorated war hero and native Texan who ranks among the few Members of Congress to fight in combat.

The refurbished center includes a new, 2,800-square-foot cardio and weight room addition, overlooking Harrington Park. The center’s famed Gazebo Café has also received an extensive facelift with more dining space and a reconfigured kitchen, which will allow staff and volunteers to better serve patrons.
