Charles County Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism is inviting the public to participate in the first public meeting to provide input on the design of a future Sports and Wellness Complex at St. Charles Town Center.
The meeting will be held at the former Sears building at St. Charles Towne Center in Waldorf on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2025, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Attendees are asked to use the upper-level exterior entrance adjacent to the JCPenney Store to reach the meeting location.
The meeting is the first in a series of community engagement activities to gather input from the public about the design and use of the 130,000 square foot facility.
The future Sports and Wellness Complex is envisioned to be a state-of-the art multigenerational facility with amenities such as a natatorium, gymnasium, fitness center and more, depending on community feedback. The engagement process is expected to occur over the next few months and anticipated to conclude by June 2025.
Residents will have the opportunity to provide direct feedback to staff during the public meeting. A survey will also be conducted for all residents from January 29-February 17 to provide information that will help shape the future of this landmark facility. The meeting will also be recorded and shared with the community on the Stay Engaged Charles County web page for those who cannot attend the meeting in person.
Residents are encouraged to visit the Sports and Wellness Complex engage page for more information on the future project. In the event of inclement weather, the public meeting will be held on Thursday, Jan. 30, 2025.
