Budget Axe Looms Over La Jolla Rec Center

The 111 year old La Jolla Rec Center could be closed, as San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria trys to balance the city's budget.

According to the city, it would save $231-thousand dollars a year, but that's a small percentage of the $118-million dollar deficit the mayor is trying to close.

The center dates back to 1915, and was a gift to the city of San Diego from newspaper tycoon Ellen Browning Scripps. The one stipulation was the building would always remain a community center.

If it is shut down, the property could revert back to the Scripps Family Trust, reports Fox 5.
