New $25 million Linden Community Center has a little bit of everything Mark Ferenchik, The Columbus Dispatch
The new $25 million Linden Community Center has a little bit of everything, and that s the point.
There s a gleaming and airy basketball court, a fitness room for gymnastics, a 200-meter elevated walking track, a game room with a pool table, a bumper pool table, a ping-pong table, and video game equipment.
But there s also a kitchen where visitors will be able to take cooking classes. An arts and ceramics room. A recording studio with three rooms. A dance studio. A Women, Infants and Children wellness clinic.
