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.

General Program Updates
In the month of February, KNCC continued to push on getting all concrete necessary for the structural components of the building poured and ready for building erection in early March. Meanwhile, KNCC, HMK and BRS continue to meet weekly to discuss project questions, issues, challenges, and solutions to those for project productivity.
February Activities
In the month of February, KNCC continued to focus on getting all concrete necessary for the structural components of the building poured and ready for building erection. Along with the concrete, underground (under slab) trenching is taking place for plumbing and electrical so all conduiting is ready for flatwork to be poured.
Meanwhile, KNCC, HMK and BRS continued to meet weekly to discuss project questions, Requests for Information (RFIs), Submittals, and receive updates on the project schedule. The goal is to be well-prepared for future work and not have any surprises. Ongoing communication with Pacific Power regarding service contracts, power delivery, and transformer delivery is also taking place with the team hopeful for updates in March.
Activities Scheduled For Next Period
March is a big month for construction progress. After solving several challenges – material, weather, concrete – building erection will commence on March 3rd. This is a major milestone in this project because it will be the catalyst for all the subcontractor work to really being. The architect team and their consultants will be on site next month for a site visit to review the latest construction of the project and will continue to review and respond to submittals and RFIs so KNCC and their team are ready for the future work.
