Academy Park, which includes the new county Parks and Recreation Department’s $9 million performing arts center and community enrichment center, has set an official opening date.
The newly-built Enrichment Center, off Columbia Avenue at 112 Everbright Ave. on the site of the old Battle Ground Academy, will open on March 6 as the new home of the J.L. Clay Senior Center and a place for community events, classes and more.
Academy Park, which now includes the new county Parks and Rec’s $9 million performing arts center and community enrichment center, is not quite ready to let you come in and play, though it slowly has been opening to the community.
The newly-built enrichment center offered programing from Williamson County Parks and Rec in February, while the adjacent performing arts center needs a little bit more time.
“Due to the fact that this area is still going to be a construction site as the performing arts center finishes up, we are going to ease into it with a couple of soft openings,” said Gordon Hampton, County Parks and Rec Director,
He estimates that perhaps in April the county will host an official grand opening and ribbon cutting.

Kids musical theater dance, cheer prep and dance team prep. The new center has a huge dance floor and dance studio upstairs.
