Woodbridge, Va. — Due to recent flooding in our area, the Red Cross will be using the Sharon Baucom Dale City Recreation Center (SBDCRC) as an emergency shelter. The SBDCRC was closed to the public beginning at 8 p.m. Saturday. The center will be used to provide temporary housing to Prince William County residents who lost their homes during the flooding, according to a Prince William County Park Authority press release.
The SBDCRC is projected to re-open to the public on Friday, September 16 at 1 p.m. All programs, excluding the state-licensed playschool held in the Center Annex, are cancelled until the center reopens to the public. Passholders may use the Chinn Aquatic and Fitness Center or the George Mason Freedom Center for no charge while the SBDCRC is closed.
After Thursday’s flooding in Woodbridge, 300 residents were evacuated to Woodbridge Senior High School in Lake Ridge.
School officials plan to close that shelter today to prepare it for the return of students who had the day off from school Friday due to the floods.
