Branchwood Locker Rooms,
Shower Facilities To Be Remodeled
Beginning July 26, the men’s bathroom, locker room and shower
facilities at Branchwood Recreation Center will be closed for
remodeling.
The remodeling work is expected to take between three and four
weeks. During that time, no access will be allowed in the men’s
bathroom, locker room or shower facilities, due to safety
reasons and health concerns.
To accommodate men using the facility, the family dressing room
and a portable restroom will be made available. However, there
will be no shower facilities available or storage for clothing
or personal belongings.
The women’s bathroom, locker room and shower facilities will
close around the end of August, following the completion of the
men’s area. Women using the center will have the same
accommodations made available to the men during the closure.
