The City of Detroit General Services Department (GSD) is currently in the planning stage for a new indoor recreation facility for Chandler Park, located at 12600 Chandler Park Drive. This is the result of many years of community input and planning efforts, as well as recognizing the need to address a "gap" in access to public recreation facilities in this part of the City. There will be additional community meetings in 2022 to share concept and final designs, and to prepare for a spring / summer 2023 ground breaking.

The type of building—and how it is constructed—will be determined by an architecture and engineering study once a firm is hired. GSD wants to be sure to gather input on what types of activities you and your family would desire to be included in the space to share with consultants to help determine the best structure to house those activities.

Please let us know how you or your family want to use this new indoor recreation space! Fill out the survey: https://forms.gle/rVVwWofYmD4hT4ap8
