Westlake Center for Community Services

The Westlake Recreation Center and Park is a special place in the heart of Westlake and with the construction of this project it will create a campus like feeling within the park. The new facility will be located behind the Recreation Center Building closer to Center Ridge Road in the location of the existing tennis courts.

The building is designed around the exterior serenity garden that provides light from floor to ceiling windows and ambiance along with having the main circulation corridor wrap around it. This design also allows for shorter walks for patrons to each of the amenities provided above. Along this circulation corridor will be intimidate seating areas for patrons to gather and chat or play a game of cards while looking out into the serenity garden. Near the lobby will be a café where a patron can grab a coffee or pastry while reviewing the informational brochures along with video screens highlighting all the exciting activities planned in the future. The building will encourage informal gathering to take place as illustrated above in the café or circulation corridor so patrons can feel they can be their without necessarily having a planned activity.

This new 28,000 S.F. freestanding single story building will house both community services and the senior center. The following amenities will be within the building:

Exterior Serenity Garden
Auditorium
Multi-Purpose / Art Room
Classroom
Equipped Fitness Studio
Exercise Studio
Gathering Hall (Dining Hall)
Administrative Offices

Since the facility will offer so many fun and exciting activities, way finding can be difficult for some patrons. To help with that all public spaces will have digital signs indicating the current activity planned for the space.

The first class amenities for this great facility also carried out into the site, which is evident as you drive up to the building along beautiful landscaping to the porte-cochere for patrons to be picked up or dropped protected from the weather. Ample parking will also be provided and great thought went into circulation of the parking lot along with the goal of providing parking spaces as close to the building as possible. The parking lot is unique in having sidewalks between the aisles to protect pedestrians from vehicle traffic and also providing benches for some patrons to simply rest.

Patrons can enjoy the great outdoors by playing a game of bocce ball on the two courts that will be provided or stroll through the park along the bike trail that will wrap around the building. Some exercise or yoga classes may be moved outside to the patio on those nice weather days. The serenity garden will be a special place with shaded seating and walkways for patrons to use along with the maintenance free natural synthetic turf grass that looks so real you would be shocked it is not.

The social services part of the building will offer a secondary entrance for discretion along with a family waiting room for the social workers or youth coordinators. The enlarged food pantry near this secondary entrance will make food donation drop and pick-up much easier than the existing building.

The new building will allow the Senior and Community Services Department to truly serve the Westlake residents of all ages in a dynamic new setting that is expected to be completed in Spring of 2021.
