From City of Asheville Parks and Recreation:
ASHEVILLE, NC – The City of Asheville Parks and Recreation Department will host the second public meeting in a series of participation opportunities to gain public feedback in the development of the Linwood Crump Shiloh Center Master Plan, located at 121 Shiloh Road, Asheville, NC 28803.
At a public meeting in July, comment was taken on the facility and programs in preparation to develop a concept master plan for the recreation center. At the second meeting the public is invited to make comment on the concept drawing of the master plan.
Public Meeting – Concept Drawing Comment: January 14, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., located at the Shiloh Center. Public comment also accepted online January 14 – February 12 at ashevillenc.gov/parks, and at the Shiloh Center.
The Linwood Crump Shiloh Center is a two-story, 21,200 square foot building including a gymnasium, multipurpose room, library, classrooms, weight room, kitchen, storage, office, restrooms, outdoor patio. The six-acre park consist of a playground, tennis court, ball field, basketball court, restrooms, walking trail, and parking.
The center is the former Shiloh Elementary School. The City of Asheville acquired the property in a lease agreement in 1977 with Buncombe County Schools to be used as a public recreation center, and later purchased it in 1997. Over the years the city made improvements to the center and surrounding park including the addition of a gymnasium and playground; improvements to the ball field, parking and lighting; added an outdoor patio and walking trail, and replaced the roof. The gymnasium constructed in the mid-1970s was recently renovated to bring it up to the standards of a modern public gym.
