 The Downtown Recreation Center 

The Downtown Recreation Center serves as the community recreation center for the Buena Vida Neighborhood in Central Brownsville. 

Since 1974, the facility was home to the Brownsville Boys and Girls Club, but now hosts the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) administrative offices, the VAC Community Youth Programs Center, new Teen Center, a new health/fitness room, and offers recreational programs. 

The renovation project featured the installation of a new playground and outdoor basketball/soccer court, major improvements to the boxing training area, the gymnasium (air conditioning, new court surfacing, basketball goals), and facility roof. 
 
The center is located in Central Brownsville and serves one of the lowest-income areas of the City.
