The Dare County Parks and Recreation Department’s Northern Beach Divisionhas announced that the Dare County Youth Center gymnasium at Family Recreation Park in Kill Devil Hills will remain closed on its originally scheduled reopening date of Monday, November 18, 2024 due to a minor delay in the ongoing roof replacement project.
The gymnasium was initially closed for a three-week period beginning on Monday, October 28, 2024 and was previously expected to reopen at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, November 18, 2024; however, the gymnasium will remain closed on Monday, November 18, 2024 as the contractor works to complete the project.
With the roof replacement project still underway, all gymnasium activities—including volleyball and pickleball—will be canceled throughout this week and will remain canceled on Monday, November 18, 2024.
The after-school program will be held in the multipurpose rooms at the Dare County Youth Center until the replacement of the roof is complete, and any meetings scheduled in the multipurpose rooms will be held as scheduled.
Although the gymnasium is currently expected to reopen on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, please be advised that further closures may also be necessary in order to complete the roof replacement project. Updates regarding any additional closures beyond Monday, November 18, 2024—as well as an update announcing the gymnasium’s reopening—will be communicated as the information becomes available.
The Dare County Parks and Recreation Department appreciates the community’s patience and understanding as work to complete this important facility upgrade continues.
