Facelift for Ed Davis & Perkins Pool

The City of Akron launched a community wide assessment of its community centers to determine which facilities were most in need of improvements and what specific upgrades residents wanted to see in 2020.

Ed Davis was one of three facilities deemed to be the most in need of significant repair. This is a much needed upgrade. The community center most of us grew up in will finally have a brand new everything and we are excited to see it.

“Creating and maintaining fun, safe, accessible public spaces is necessary for any community to thrive. The upgrades at both Ed Davis Community Center and Perkins Pool will revitalize these spaces for our residents to enjoy for years to come. By taking the community’s thoughts, feedback, and ideas into account during the planning process, we’ve ensured that these spaces will meet the community’s needs and wants” said Mayor Horrigan.
