Teamwork in Action: Thanks for Making Pitch In On the Piedmont a Success

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Pitch In On the Piedmont event last month! We had nearly 30 incredible volunteers, including a student working on their Eagle Scout project, the Manassas Young Marines and Mason students from the Biology and Engineering departments. Because of their hard work, we were able to add much to large areas of the Piedmont Trail and install two brand-new benches. Their efforts made a huge impact, and we couldn’t have done it without them!

AFC Construction Project to Close Fitness Spaces and Hours Update

From October 28th – December 1st, the Aquatic & Fitness Center (AFC) will be undergoing a major construction project and the cardio floor, weight floor and downstairs stretching room will be CLOSED. The upstairs Group Exercise room and the cycling studio will remain open and group fitness classes will be unaffected.

During this time, Skyline Fitness Center will open on weekdays at 11:30am. It will close at midnight still. The Recreation Athletic Complex (RAC) will see increased attendance during this time but will not be altering its hours.

We appreciate your understanding and patience with our construction project!
