#RecreatingTheRec

A portion of Hubbard Road, south of Five Mile Road, is closed, and it is currently estimated to reopen Saturday, Nov. 2, following completion of some Kirksey Recreation Center construction items. The south lot is still accessible from alternative routes when approaching from the south.

The Main Gyms will close in July 2025 once the new West Gym is complete. The full project is expected to be completed in December 2025. You can visit LivoniaBuilt.org to see the specific timeline for each phase. For more details, check out our Frequently Asked Questions.

Stay up to date on construction at the Kirksey Recreation Center and Livonia Senior Wellness Center at LivoniaBuilt.org. You've already subscribed to this e-newsletter, so make sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and bookmark the website for all the latest details.
