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.

This construction of an approximately 74,000sq. ft. recreational facility would 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 parking lots. Other amenities planned may include outdoor sports field, sport courts, playgrounds, and walking paths.

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.
