Community center planning continues
Efforts remain robust as future community center takes shape
April 2025, the City Council held a joint meeting with the Parks Advisory Committee to discuss the future Community Center. They reviewed the building layout and planned amenities to ensure it continues to align with community preferences and that it is financially feasible. Behind the scenes, City staff are frequently meeting with the contractor and architect to ensure the project remains in motion. Members of the City’s leadership team are also continuing to tour other community centers in the metro area to explore amenity options and gather insights. In addition, the City is working with financial advisors to prepare for a potential bond measure that would be referred to the voters in November 2025 to cover a portion of the cost for building the Community Center. Over the course of the next few months, City Council plans to hold a few more joint meetings with the Parks Advisory Committee to continue these important discussions.
The site for the future community center and park is located just off Scouters Mountain Rd on the east side of 172nd Avenue. Groundbreaking for the new community center is expected to take place in spring 2026 with a formal grand opening anticipated by the end of 2027.
