Oakland Holds Grand Opening for New Mosswood Recreation Center
Destroyed by fire a decade ago, the Mosswood Recreation Center will reopen to the public on Saturday morning.
Mayor Barbara Lee, Councilmember Carroll Fife, and other officials will speak and offer tours to community members from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The 2016 blaze at the center put an immediate halt to preschool, arts, cooking, and inclusion programs held at the facility, which first opened in 1953. Many of those programs were relocated to temporary structures, but park visitors have eagerly awaited the redevelopment of the full center.
New Indoor Soccer Training Facility Under Construction in Springfield
A large indoor soccer training facility has been proposed for a vacant building on Port Royal Road in Springfield.

Capstone Soccer would be located at 5256 Port Royal Road. An NTW tire store closed at that site about five years ago.
The facility would be used for an instructional soccer training facility providing structured, small-group and individual coaching sessions for children and youths, according to the statement of justification submitted to the Fairfax County Planning and Land Use System.
