Montgomery celebrates Sheridan Heights Community Center renovations
Mayor Steven Reed's father, Joe, was on the Montgomery City Council in 1986 when the Sheridan Heights Community Center initially opened. On May 6, Steven Reed gathered with city leaders and others to celebrate a re-launch of the center with more amenities, part of a larger project geared at helping the surrounding neighborhoods.
"That's what investing in community looks like," Reed said outside the center.
The renovations include a resurfaced pool and a resurfaced gym floor. The city also added an e-gaming room and a table tennis game.

The community center is part of a larger $10 million project the city is pursuing to renovate "five to eight" of Montgomery's community centers over 2025.
City Council Member Marche Johnson said community centers are important to the surrounding neighborhoods they support.
She announced an upcoming community day at the center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 10. The celebration will offer face painting, line dancing, a petting zoo and a demonstration by the Montgomery Fire Department.
The Sheridan Heights Community Center is at 3501 Faro Drive.
