Community Recreation Center
Bond program

Bond Kick-off video

As Redmond rapidly continues to grow in population, the new recreational center will provide enhanced facilities to meet the needs of the community and stand as an investment in future generations.

Currently, the Redmond Area Park and Recreation District (RAPRD) administration and activities are hosted at the only public pool in Redmond – the Cascade Swim Center. Opened in 1979, the swim center catered to a population of about 6,500 people in the recreation district. Now, the district encompasses roughly 45,000 people, which has stretched the Cascade Swim Center in capacity with no room for growth in activities.

RAPRD passed a $49M bond in November 2022 to fund the facility.

After the first design phase and based on the actual concepts, the program team realized that adjustments were needed in order to align the project with the budget and maintain the bond commitments. 

This construction of a new recreational facility will sit on 10 acres at SW 35th Street and Lava Avenue in Redmond, and is planned to include both a competitive pool and leisure pool, locker rooms, gymnasium, exercise facilities, group fitness rooms, special event spaces, offices and other administrative/support spaces, and more. 

The Redmond Area Park & Recreation District project is a crucial investment in the future of the community. It will provide state-of-the-art facilities, modern amenities, and the ability for growth in adding programs and recreational opportunities for generations to come.

Completion | The renovation of Jackson County Fire District 5 Station 4 is complete.

The project completed a much-needed seismic retrofit that included a new roof, windows/doors, and exterior siding. The renovations provide the facility with seismic-resisting capability that will enable immediate use in emergency responses following a seismic event. The use of fiber cement siding and masonry details instead of wood will also improve the resiliency of the station during potential wildfires.

Other changes to the station included the conversion of one bay to multi-use with a new shower/restroom that will add capacity for additional personnel during peak wildfire season.

The station is also using four-fold apparatus bay doors that are the first of their kind installed in Southern Oregon. Following the 2020 Almeda Fire that destroyed over 2,500 homes, Jackson County Fire District 5 adopted this style door as a standard for all its stations. The doors are not only more durable and reduce maintenance costs, but they are also much easier to operate during power outages common to catastrophic events.

Upgraded insulation, heating and air conditioning is anticipated to improve firefighter comfort and save operating costs.

Firefighters plan to reoccupy the station in mid-December to early January depending on weather and holiday schedule.

The Jackson County Fire District 5 Station 4 seismic renovation project reached a significant milestone with the installation of the apparatus bay doors.

Although common in larger districts, these four-fold doors are the first of their kind installed in Southern Oregon. Following the 2020 Almeda Fire that destroyed over 2,500 homes, Jackson County Fire District 5 adopted this style door as a standard for all its stations.

The doors are not only more durable and reduce maintenance costs, but they are also much easier to operate during power outages common to catastrophic events.

The only items remaining are paint touch up and cleaning that will take place in November with Firefighters reoccupying the renovated station in mid-December to early January depending on weather and holiday schedule.

The seismic retrofit project includes a new roof, windows/doors, and exterior siding that should be completed by the fall of 2023 and will make much needed structural upgrades to the station that was originally constructed in 1975.
