The Macon-Bibb County Recreation Department is planning for the next phase of improvements at Delores A. Brooks Community Center (formerly known as East Macon Recreation Center). WM2A Architects will help develop a master plan for the Recreation Center, beginning with three public forums at the Center.

The third and final forum will be held on Thursday, November 9 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Rosa Jackson Community Center at 1211 Maynard Street. The forum has been moved to the Rosa Jackson Community Center because the Delores A. Brooks Community Center is closed while repairs are made to its sewage lift station.

Delores A. Brooks Recreation Center is slated to receive $2.4 million from the voter-approved 2018 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. Developing a master plan with this input will let the Recreation Department and Commission better understand how the community would like the Center used now and in the future. Through these meetings, designers WM2A are developing preliminary drawings, seeking additional feedback, and then providing a final drawing to the public before presenting to the Commission.
