Former Collinsville YMCA finds new life as Henry County Recreation Center

A former YMCA facility had a facelift and now is the new Henry County Recreation Center – the first indoor facility for activities in the county.

Located at 395 W. John Redd Blvd., the building that previously housed the Collinsville YMCA has been fully remodeled with new paint, flooring, and lighting. 

Daily activities geared toward local seniors will be offered daily, including Rook, Canasta, Bridge, and bingo. Fitness programs such as Zumba, yoga, and even line dancing will also be offered. Senior computer classes will be held over the summer in the new computer lab.

“We have a vibrant senior community and senior population,” said Roger Adams, director of Henry County Parks and Recreation.  

The facility will also host the Miss Henry County Fair contest in June, summer camps for students, and a Daddy/Daughter dance in February, amongst other things. A kid’s cooking class will be held in the new kitchen space as a part of the summer camps offered.

“We have activities here almost every day for seniors, we have children’s activities, just a wide variety of activities for folks to come participate in,” Adams said. “We also have the new Henry County Dog Park that’s behind the building. It’s a beautiful dog park for people to come and let their dogs get some exercise in a safe environment.”

He added the center and its offerings “would not be possible without our maintenance staff.”

Cited problems with the roof, air conditioner, and overall condition of the building, Collinsville District Supervisor Joe Bryant praised the maintenance staff for their hard work on the building. 

“You can tell they did a lot of work to it,” Bryant said, and also praised Adams for his efforts with the project. 

“Roger is on the job all the time. Parks and Rec is probably one of the most important things in the county. Roger is into trying to help senior citizens and help Henry County as a whole,” Bryant said.

The Henry County Recreation Center is the 27th park facility in the county. Additional information about activities and programs can be found online at www.henrycountyva.gov.

Several residents joined with county officials and staff to celebrate the opening of the Henry County Recreation Center, the first indoor site for activities in the county.
