To celebrate, the village of Los Lunas hosted a grand opening event for the new addition to the facility on Saturday, Oct 14. The $7.5 million project was self-funded by the village.
Los Lunas Mayor Charles Griego said the last phase that had been built onto the recreation center occurred in the 1980s.
“I’ve seen it as a parent and a grandparent … I’ve noticed we needed more space for our children, our youth,” Griego said. “Recreation programs are very popular in Los Lunas. We’re not just serving Los Lunas; we’re serving all of Valencia County.”
