3—16 <br /> Orange County Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br /> CHAPTER 3 - Parks and Recreation Inventory/Assessment/ Recreation Facility <br />Efland Cheeks Community Center - 117 Richmond Rd., Efland <br />The Efland Cheeks Community Center was constructed and opened in 1992, before much of the park around it <br />was completed. The Center housed a senior nutritfon and actfvity site, community based grant offices as well <br />as recreatfon programs and events for many years. Once the new Central Orange Senior Center was <br />completed in Hillsborough, senior nutritfon and programming was all centralized at that locatfon. <br /> <br />In 2013, renovatfons and reorganizatfon occurred, which are providing the opportunity for revitalizatfon of <br />the center. Beginning in the fall of 2013, drop in use was scheduled at no cost for Orange County residents <br />throughout the week. Computers are set up with internet access, games and actfvitfes are available for <br />children, adults and seniors. <br />Future Rogers Rd. Community Center—Purefoy Dr., Chapel Hill <br />In 2012 a multf-jurisdictfonal task force was formed and <br />asked to investfgate a contractual agreement with Habitat <br />for Humanity to construct a Rogers Road Neighborhood <br />Community Center that would serve the residents of the <br />Rogers Road Neighborhood. The center would be owned <br />by Habitat and leased to Rogers Eubanks Neighborhood <br />Associatfon (RENA) for $1 per year. The property selected <br />for the center is located on Purefoy Dr. and owned by <br />Orange County. Chapel Hill and Carrboro are also involved <br />as partners in the project. <br /> <br />In 2013 a contractual agreement was reached which pro- <br />vided for operatfon and use of the new center by RENA. <br />Plans and constructfon drawings are currently under devel- <br />opment for the center. The planned center includes <br />classrooms, multf-purpose rooms, a library/computer <br />room, a food bank, and full kitchen as well as office and <br />storage space.
