In the year 2000, the city of Atlanta parks & recreation started construction on a new recreation center. It was finished in 2003 at the price of $13.1 million. The rec. center is known as the Adamsville Natatorium and Gymnasium. The 103,000-square-foot building features an indoor 50-meter pool and a gymnasium and is 10 times larger than the existing Adamsville Recreation Center.
The new Adamsville Natatorium and Gymnasium was built on 9.42 acres of land. The recreation center also includes racquetball courts, offices, meeting space, a parking lot for 185 cars and a quarter-mile walking trail encircling the site.[1]
Founded as a farming village, it was possibly named for early resident G.W. Adams who farmed there in 1882 when it was called Lick Skillet. The name was changed to Adamsville in 1906.[2]
