About FOTR

The Friends of Tucker Rec began in February 2013 and has been slowly growing our membership ever since.  Our most successful project to date was the 2016 Martin Luther King Day of Service where we had over 50 volunteers help paint the front hallways.  We are dedicated to improving the usability, aesthetics and safety of the building, adding areas to the grounds for education and enjoyment and improving the curb appeal of this Tucker landmark. 

We invite you to join us as we work together with the staff, local government and our community to enhance the facility and offerings of the Tucker Recreation Center.

Tucker Recreation Center offers classes, instruction and activities for all ages in over 35 disciplines including the Arts, Sports & Recreation, and Education as well as special events.

Tucker Recreation Center was originally built in 1954 as Tucker Elementary School.  DeKalb County Parks and Recreation purchased the school building and land from the school board and opened the Tucker Rec Center in 1980. Photograph courtesy of Tucker Historical Society, circa 1957.
