History
South Park Recreation Center, Inc (SPCRC) is a
Colorado 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the
establishment of the forthcoming Recreation Center in South Park.
A recreation center committee was organized in 1993
by a group of citizens who shared the belief that South Park was in
need of a facility for indoor recreation and various community programs.
In 1994, the Fanning Family donated a 4.7-acre
parcel of land where the center will be located.
In 1997, the committee established the South Park
Recreation Center, Inc (SPCRC) - a Colorado 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization - in order to fundraise and pursue grant monies.
In 1998, SPCRC promoted the establishment of the
South Park Park and Recreation District (SPPRD) - a State of Colorado
special district established by the vote of the community. As a special
district, the SPPRD is a government entity with the authority to put
tax proposals before the public. SPPRD serves approximately 6000
residents over 1200 square miles.
Both the SPCRC and SPPRD Boards of Directors work
in close cooperation towards the establishment of the forthcoming
Recreation Center in South Park.
In May 2002, the SPPRD placed both an operational
levy and construction bond question on the ballot. The citizens of the
district area voted yes to both questions.
In March of 2003,
Newcastle
Construction Services Inc. was selected as
the General Contractor, Ohlson Lavoie Corporation was selected as the
architect, and
GreenPlay, LLC was selected as the
center's operational consultant.
As of July 2003, we were finalizing design-build
plans with our partners Newcastle and Ohlson Lavoie. The official
ground breaking ceremony for construction of the Recreation Center was
held at the site location on November 12, 2003.
