Construction Should Begin Next Week on New Roxbury Park Community Center

Construction is slated to begin next week on a new community center in Beverly Hills' Roxbury Park, according to a release from the city's Office of Communications.

The Beverly Hill City Council accepted a slate of bids on various contracts related to building the $10.16 million structure at its May 7 formal meeting, making way for this next stage.

Construction is expected to last about a year, according to a city press release.

 “Seniors, youth groups and families will all have a modern facility, with upgraded fields that will serve them for decades to come, said Mayor John Mirisch in a statement. "Importantly, it allows the character of one of our signature parks to be retained.”

The new center features an outdoor seating, a patio and a basketball court and tennis area.

The interior features a library, kitchen, meeting rooms, exercise studio and auditorium with stage.

As previously reported, Roxbury Park classes have been relocated to other city facilities.
