On Monday, June 29, from 6:30 to 8pm at Redmond City Hall, 15670
NE 85th Street, the City of Redmond will hold the first community
meeting to discuss the future of four recreational facilities - Old
Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, Old Fire House Teen Center,
Redmond Senior Center and Hartman Pool. The meeting will also
gather input on the needs of the City's indoor recreation programs.
The information gathered at this meeting will be used by a
consultant team hired to perform building and program assessments.
These assessments will lead to a set of options for maintaining,
renovating or replacing each of the existing facilities so they meet
current and future demand for indoor recreation space.
"Our parks and recreation system in Redmond is one we are very proud
of," states Craig Larsen, Parks and Recreation Director.
"However, many of our facilities are showing their age and need to
be evaluated to ensure we can meet future demand. An example
of this is the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center; a 77 year
old building designed as an elementary school now used for a variety
of recreation and athletic activities."
For questions regarding this project, contact B Sanders, Senior Park
Planner, 425-556-2328 or
