Most additions and improvements to the Westerville Community Center, 350 N. Cleveland Ave., have been completed, but restrictions are in place at the facility because of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Mike Phillips, recreation and operations superintendent for Westerville Parks & Recreation, said the warm-water therapy pool and adjoining party room should open by the end of January, pending changes in restrictions. He said those are the final two areas of the center that will open to the public.
Currently, he said, the track, both fitness levels, the gym and the pool are open with limited use.
