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.

General Program Updates
June was filled with construction activity on site with the contractors continuing to frame the west portion of the building, which houses the gym, exercise facilities, group exercise rooms, multipurpose rooms and administrative spaces. HMK, BRS, and KNCC continued weekly meetings to address any project needs and receive updates.
June Activities
In June, construction of the west side continued with additional sub-contractors brought in to get all ceiling electrical, mechanical, and fire system installed. Concurrently, framing begun in the administrative and multi-use areas of the
building while deconstruction commenced for the natatorium side – removing the roof panels to make way for newly and properly painted purlins. Roofing continued over the locker room portion, with ducting, fire sprinklers, and overhead electrical being installed.
Activities Scheduled For Next Period
In July, a lot of utility coordination will occur. KNCC will trench for permanent power, including work across 35th Ave. and work with Pacific Power to install the transformer. Additionally, gas lines will be installed to the building. On the building, deconstruction and reconstruction of the roof panels and purlins will continue on the east side of the building. Meanwhile on the west side, wall panels, framing, and roofing will be ongoing while the interior continues to be framed with plumbing, electrical and mechanical work continuing.

Participation in the mandatory pre-proposal walk is critical for the cooling retrofit projects at Sage Elementary and Terrebonne Community School. These site visits allow prospective teams to verify existing conditions, identify potential challenges or opportunities early on, and ensure that proposed design approaches and construction methods are accurately informed by the actual site environment. Attendance is documented, and only firms represented during the walk are eligible to submit a proposal which promotes a fair and competitive bidding process by ensuring all proposers have equal access to site information and a shared understanding of project requirements.

Our tenant improvement project is officially underway as we begin demolition on an existing college classroom to make way for a state-of-the-art trades lab. This is an exciting step toward expanding hands-on learning opportunities for future skilled workers. Safety remains our top priority throughout demolition. We’ve implemented strict containment zones, enhanced ventilation, and clear circulation paths to ensure that classes can continue nearby without disruption. Protecting current students, faculty, and staff is built into every step of our plan. We’re proud to share that this project is made possible through federal grant funding dedicated to workforce development. It’s a meaningful investment in technical education—and in the students who will soon train in this modernized space. Stay tuned as we move from demolition to rebuilding.
Big things are coming!

JCSD | Big milestone alert: we’ve completed the RFQ phase for the Laurel Elementary School Seismic Retrofit!
Think of this step as the District’s version of drafting an all-star team, and after reviewing qualifications, four contractors earned their spot on the roster: Triplett Wellman Construction, Woodburn Construction, GBC Construction, and CB Construction These firms all bring real experience with seismic work and K-12 projects, which means they understand the unique challenges of strengthening a school building safely and efficiently. Now we’re heading into the Invitation to Bid stage, where these pre-qualified pros will price the work. This two-step process keeps things fair, transparent, and most importantly, smart. By checking experience upfront, we avoid the headaches of delays, rework, and “oops, we didn’t know this was a school project” moments. Our goal is simple: pick the right builder so Laurel Elementary gets the strong, safe, seismically-ready upgrade it deserves.

CGCC | Well-maintained and safe exterior exit stairs are critical . These stairs aren’t just part of the building—they’re a lifeline during emergencies. Clear, sturdy, well-lit, and properly maintained stairs ensure everyone can exit quickly and safely when it matters most. Regular inspections, handrail upkeep, non-slip surfaces, and debris-free pathways can prevent injuries and save lives. Safe stairs = safe people. ...

SOESD | Ever wondered what goes into keeping playground equipment from moving around when in use? Wonder no more. With the playground equipment going into place at the SOESD Phoenix building, this mid-install photo shows off just how much structural anchoring goes into creating a safe and fun play structure for students. This playground equipment alone has over 20 concrete-filled post holes keeping the structure in place. These anchor points will soon be covered up by a rubberized outdoor play surface that will help provide traction for students using the playground to its fullest extent. ...
