The series of recreation buildings being built in Manhattan are almost complete. Collaborations have been made with Douglass, Anthony, and Eisenhower middle schools to build recreation centers that are open to both the middle school students and the residents of Manhattan. Wyatt Thompson, Manhattan Parks and Recreation Assistant Director, says all three projects are moving right along. He adds that the Douglass Center is starting to feel complete. They installed the basketball goals last week,” Thompson says. “So when you walk in, it looks different with paint on the walls and the goals there. You can really now tell that it is indeed, going to be a rec center and that gymnasium space just really changed when they put the goal up.”
