The gleaming new George Sim Community and Event Center, which opens Saturday, is being heralded by the city of Sacramento as the next generation of community centers.
The $18 million project added 15,500 square feet to the small existing 1960s-era center. In addition, behind the new community center, a 15,700-square-foot event center was built for basketball, volleyball and other sports.
"It's a community center for the 21st century," said Councilman Kevin McCarty.
The community center includes meeting space, a fitness center, an industrial kitchen and an automated library machine. The center is a high-tech, eco-friendly shot-in-the arm for the community, McCarty said.
A grand opening of the center is planned for Saturday with a parade at 10 a.m., ribbon cutting at 11 a.m., and lunch and children's activities at noon. Sacramento residents can tour the facility at 6207 Logan St. until 4 p.m.
