Sense of Arrival to Facility from Main Entrance – Vehicular Windsor Recreation Center is located on Gate City Boulevard, a busy thoroughfare in Greensboro. Access to the site is limited to a required u-turn or navigating through neighborhood streets. The only signage for the recreation center and pool is located on the building, partially shielded from view by overgrown vegetation. Sense of Arrival to Facility from Main Entrance – Pedestrian The Windsor Recreation Center and pool are easily accessible via surrounding sidewalks and a pedestrian tunnel. A large mural and painted paving greet pedestrians as they enter the site. Entrance to the pool is not easy to find, hidden amongst the chain link fence covered with branded wind stopping material. Accessibility and Well-Being There does not appear to be any sustainable elements at Windsor Recreation Center. According to staff, the pool leaks severely, requiring an almost constant flow of city water to keep it filled.

According to staff, the pool leaks severely, requiring an almost constant flow of city water to keep it filled. Quality and Physical Condition Being amongst the oldest aquatics and recreation facilities in Greensboro, the recreation center and pool are showing various visible signs of degradation. The recreation center facades are unique, creating architectural interest and identity. The pool surface is spalling in various areas and has been patched as needed, creating inconsistency in color and texture.

A commissioned mural on the recreation center greets visitors to the site.
