Southern Recreation Center

OLC

Palm Coast, FL

Situated on a 63-acre site adjacent to an established tennis center, this newly completed 12,000 sf recreation facility seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a vibrant community destination. The expansive social lobby, outdoor seating overlooking tennis and pickleball courts, modern locker rooms, fully equipped kitchen and bar, versatile multipurpose rooms, viewing balconies, and administrative spaces were all designed to support a wide range of recreational, social, and community programming.

Beyond the clubhouse, 12 cushioned pickleball courts - including six covered courts protected by a pre-engineered metal structure - and ten clay tennis courts with professional lighting for night play expand opportunities for active recreation. Since opening, these amenities have significantly increased community engagement by supporting daily recreational use, tournament play, and special events for players of all ages and abilities.

Targeting high sustainability standards, the project achieved LEED Gold certification, exceeding initial environmental goals. Hundreds of solar panels installed atop the covered pickleball courts are projected to save over $500,000 in energy costs over 25 years, underscoring a commitment to long-term environmental and operational efficiency.

Feedback from the community highlights how the facility has become a vibrant hub that fosters social connection, wellness, and active lifestyles. Programming for youth, seniors, and competitive athletes alike has expanded due to the versatility of the space, and local organizations have reported increased participation in recreation and social events. The flexible design has also enabled the hosting of regional tournaments and community gatherings, contributing to local economic activity.

Widely recognized as one of the most modern architectural landmarks in the area, this facility fulfills the vision of creating a forward-thinking recreational environment that serves diverse community needs while promoting health, inclusion, and environmental stewardship. It stands as a testament to thoughtful design that not only meets but exceeds client and community expectations.
