Arlington ACTIV Center
The City of Arlington, focused on serving its active adult community, hires Parkhill to design a 68,000 SF Active Adult Center. This state-of-the-art facility features a multipurpose event room, social activity spaces, vocational rooms, a wellness center, an aerobics room, weight and cardio rooms, and both a therapy and lap pool for water aerobics.
Blending Wellness With Natural Beauty
Nestled within one of Arlington’s largest post oak groves, the center’s design respects the natural landscape by preserving existing trees. The building integrates seamlessly into the area’s considerable topography, creating a harmonious blend of architecture and nature.
Outdoor Spaces for Active Lifestyles
Parkhill’s design also incorporates outdoor recreation, adding an outdoor transitional workout lawn and pickleball courts. These features allow for active sports programs set against the natural backdrop. The entire east side of the facility opens up to the Post Oak preserve and activity lawn, providing stunning views and creating opportunities for outdoor programming.
Thoughtful Design Inspired by Nature
The new Active Adult Center not only promotes wellness and active living but also connects members with nature. By combining indoor and outdoor activities, the center offers a holistic approach to health, making it a vital resource for Arlington’s active adult community.
