History

The original land on which Metz Recreation Center is located was acquired by a bond purchase in 1933. The present center opened in 1972 and is named after the school district in which it is located. The existing facility was built in 1972 through matching funds from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation and Model Cities funds. In 1978, Martin Junior High facilities were acquired as a satellite facility. Satellite facilities adjacent to Festival Beach include indoor regulation gym, tennis courts and lighted ball fields. In 1982, Austin voters gave approval for the expansion of facilities through the Capital Improvements Program.
