Virginia Beach rec centers fully re-opening in June After nearly a year under limitations and restrictions, community centers feel like they've reached the end of a long road. Author: Connor Rhiel Updated: 9:15 PM EDT May 27, 2021 VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — It's been 50 long weeks for Anthony Taylor, recreation supervisor at the Kempsville Rec Center. "The most challenging part was making sure we were adhering to everything the state told us to do," says Taylor, referencing hourly cleanings, 10 feet of distance between equipment, and the cancellation of classes and programs. Fifty weeks ago, Virginia Beach rec centers started assigning limited workout slots, creating a sign-up system instead of the usual show-up and scan method.
