The Tom Muehlenbeck Recreation Center (TMC), located at 5801 W Parker Rd, Plano, is set for its most extensive renovation in its 17-year history, beginning in early 2025. The center will close on Feb. 17, 2025, to start the project, which will impact the entirety of the center.
The recreation center, expected to reopen in winter 2025, will undergo major upgrades to the facility, including modernized amenities, new equipment and improved infrastructure.
As Local Profile previously reported, the project was funded by the 2021 bond to enhance various aspects of the building, including the pool area and exercise rooms, addressing critical infrastructure needs.
Since its opening in 2007, TMC has become the city of Plano’s most popular and heavily used recreation facility, prompting much-needed upgrades. This project includes essential maintenance that, if postponed, could lead to more costly repairs in the future.
The renovation will include comprehensive building maintenance, HVAC and roofing replacements, landscaping upgrades, technology infrastructure updates, Americans with Disabilities Act compliance enhancements, and improvements to locker rooms, pool facilities and outdoor areas, ensuring the recreation center remains a community asset.
“By combining all necessary maintenance work with cosmetic and refresh updates, we save the city money, and our patrons down time of the facility,” the city of Plano said on its website dedicated to community questions.
Members may request to withdraw their memberships before the closure date. After the closure, members can contact Chauncey Deller at 972.769.4420 to process their membership withdrawal. If you renew your membership within 30 days of the reopening, the center will honor the loyalty discount for annual memberships.
