Crabapple Center is evolving into a hub for performing arts, gymnastics and athletics, and community programming in Roswell, Georgia. This project is an integral part of the City’s multi-year, bond-funded plan to modernize and repurpose the 20-acre property into a flexible, multi-use facility that serves residents of all ages.
Over the last four years, Roswell’s Recreation and Parks programs have experienced extraordinary growth with a 21% increase in gymnastics participation and an 80% increase in performing arts enrollment since 2021. As more residents look for opportunities to learn, move, and connect, the City is expanding its facilities and programs through a holistic, phased approach that strengthens the community for generations to come.

Purchasing the property, preparing the facility for use, and activating spaces for basketball, summer camps, and gymnastics. This phase is complete.
Phase 2
Building new outdoor pickleball courts, replacing the roof, and converting interior spaces into studios and performance areas. This phase is currently active.
Phase 3
Improving site access to Roswell Area Park, opening the grounds, and expanding programming and studio space at the PAC.
