Dulles South Multipurpose Center..it's all in a name

This week's Easterner had a South Riding Scoop entry on new community centers, speaking to the new "Arcola Community Center" and the "Riding Center Community Center". SouthRiding.net speaks to the "Dulles South Multipurpose Center", but a front page poll solicits new names for the "South Riding Community Center" - the leading candidate now being "South Riding Center" (with about 70 votes). The Loudoun County Government site uses the "Dulles Multipurpose Center" as a name, though most documents include the "South".

There's actually two centers here - one run by the Loudoun County Parks and Recreation Department, and one run by the South Riding Proprietary for residents only. They both front Riding Center Drive, about a quarter mile from each other.

The "Dulles South Multipurpose Center" is a community center at 24950 Riding Center Drive in South Riding - Phase I is nearly complete (by June), to offer preschool, senior center and community services activities.

The "Riding Center Community Center" is a residents-only South Riding facility and pool on 42420 Unicorn Drive in South Riding, and is complete and ready to open for this Summer.
