City leaders have broken ground on a new community center in Edgewood Park, located at 5803 Bellfort Ave. This project is part of a larger effort to upgrade the park, which will also include recreational improvements and flood-mitigation upgrades.

The new community center will be 12,000 square feet and will feature a full-size gymnasium. It is intended to be a neighborhood gathering place where residents can come together to play, celebrate, and connect with one another.

Further details about the project are available from the Defender Network, which reports that the upgrades aim to create a safer and more vibrant destination for the South Park community.
