Sunshine Gospel Ministries’ planned Washington Park community center will replace 4.1 acres of City land that City Council approved for sale and redevelopment today.

The $36.9 million, 77,050-square-foot project at 6016 S. King Drive will include a gymnasium, cafe, youth programming rooms, offices and outdoor athletic facilities. It will replace 16 City lots at 345-79 E. 60th St., 6000-50 S. King Drive and 6001-49 S. Calumet Ave.

Each lot will be sold to the 119-year-old community organization for $1 per parcel.

In January, Mayor Johnson announced City support for the project through a $5 million Community Development Grant.
