The City of La Grange
Randolph Recreation Center is located at 653
East Pearl Street in La Grange, Texas. The
gymnasium – home of the present Recreation
Center – was built in 1948, and was a
portion of the former black school prior to
integration in the mid-sixties. The gym
area was used sparingly by the La Grange
School District until the City acquired the
building and completed renovations in 2004.
The City, along with partnerships, funding
by various donors, volunteers, and Texas
Parks and Wildlife grant funds returned a
historically significant structure to the
citizens of La Grange for future usage for
all ages.
The
City of La Grange Recreation Department
offers the following programs and activities
at the Recreation Center, and other
facilities around the City.
