Becker Technology Center
The center is currently under construction and is scheduled for a grand opening April 1, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a ribbon-cutting at 10:20 a.m. Now located in the former Charleston Heights Park, the new facility is the Ernest & Betty Becker Family Technology and Recreation Park.
The new center will include state-of-the-art equipment in a true tech-based facility. The community center will provide the infrastructure to accommodate high-tech uses, allowing youth, as well as adults, to create computer games, participate in esports, and produce high-quality video in front of a green screen. Local youth, along with representatives of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, deputy city marshals, local schools, esports business groups and area churches, provided input into the design of the facility.
