The Pickfair Recreation Center will undergo an up to $346,000 renovation, beginning in May, that will bring the facility up to ADA standards.
Located in Northwest Austin at 10904 Pickfair Drive, the recreation center was built in 1988 and once served as the fire station for the Travis County Municipal Utility District.
The City of Austin acquired it in 1998, and it has more recently been used as a polling center, said Reynaldo Hernandez, landscape architect with the city's Parks and Recreation Department.
"Not much has changed since the city purchased the building. It still looks much like a fire station inside," Hernandez said.
