C
Project Code: Priority:
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS AND/ OR MASTER PLAN:
The adopted 2025 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan identified the expansion of the Euless
Family Life Center ( EFLC) as the No. 1 Indoor Need Priority. In order to meet the demands of citizens, the
EFLC needs to expand it's functional footprint to accommodate growing membership, classes, and programs
offered.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project scope includes the construction portion of the expansion/ renovation of the Recreation Center,
Senior Center, and Natatorium. Construction includes, but is not limited to, a new and separate building to the
west of the existing Recreation Center to include additional gym space, multi -use programmable rooms, walking
track, fitness areas, storage, and office space. Operations will move into the new building once completed so
renovations can begin on the existing Euless Family Life Center building. EFLC renovations include, but are not
limited to, restroom and locker room renovations; updates to customer service operations, lighting, flooring, and
wall coverings; and redesigning the current public spaces.

PROJECT SCHEDULE:

JUSTIFICATION:
Built in 1989, the Euless Family Life Center has served a great need for over 36 years. Renovations and some
additions (fitness area) were completed in 2010. These areas have become overwhelmed with the growth in
membership and the number and size of the classes and programs offered at the EFLC. During the
development of the 2025 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan, citizens ranked the expansion,
renovation, and redevelopment of the EFLC as their No. 1 priority on the Indoor Needs List. Specific needs
include additional gym space, multi -purpose rooms, storage, fitness area, Child Care, Teen Room, and office
space. Restrooms and locker rooms are in need of renovation/ expansion and the facility entrances and exits
need to be more customer friendly for members and visitors.
