CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After experiencing many delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation was pleased to open the Eastway Recreation Center on Apr. 7.
The center, located at 3150 Eastway Park Drive, is the county's first of its kind in east Charlotte and provides the community with many amenities including an indoor swimming pool, a fitness center, senior services, a nature trail and more.
Currently, the facility will be open Monday and Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Community members can access the amenities by reserving their spots online using MeckPass or a one-time daily pass on ActiveNet. Those interested in reserving their spots are also encouraged to visit the site or call 980-314-ERRC (3772).
Park and recreation officials want guest to be aware due to COVID-19, the center will function at a reduced capacity. As a result, swim lanes and the fitness center space will also operate at reduced capacities.
County officials said a formal dedication will be scheduled in the months to come.
