Even during this pandemic, the Rec Center staff is still working hard and making sure all of our facilities are in tip-top shape for when they reopen to the public. Check out some of the ongoing projects down below. This page will be updated on a regular basis so be sure to come back and see what we’re working on!

I know that “waiting on materials” is a very real thing now. But is there any inclination of when anything at Kuntz will be open again?
Evolve Starrett,
Due to the COVID situation, project’s completion is not necessarily the indicator for reopening; however, currently all active phases of Kuentz projects are on schedule to meet the anticipated Sept. 30th completion schedule. Two final projects still remain; Weather permitting and all surrounding projects complete, the Kuentz Pool Deck and Patio will be receiving a new Deck Surface, and the Parking Lot will be Sealed and Striped beginning late Sept. or early Oct. for approx. two weeks of work. This would conclude all Kuentz approved projects for the Fiscal Year.
Much Thanks to all our community in their interest, and support of all the Kuentz and other Rec Center Projects!

Thanks so much for all the improvements being made. It’s going to be great once it is finished.
Not quite sure I understand what you’re saying Karl…Will the Kuentz pool be open by the 30th of Sept. or are you saying there will be two more projects after the 30th? Please don’t tell us it could be as late as Nov. before we can use this facility again ~
Lovely job on Kuentz spa!
We’re very anxious to get back to Kuentz pool.
When are you going to open the therapy pool at Beardsley? There are some who can’t use the outdoor pool because of the depth and the intense sun.
I walk by the Kuentz center each day and it’s been many months since this project has started. unless the project is a complete a redo of the entire building I don’t get why so long?
When is the open date?
What’s going on at the Dog Park that backs up to Hillcrest Golf Course?
Hi Elaine. The large dog park at R.H. Johnson is currently undergoing renovations and is on schedule to reopen Monday, Nov. 2 (weather permitting). Some of the improvements being made to the dog park include three additional shade shelters with benches, two new water coolers, east and west entry vestibules and improved walkways and lighting.
According to my calendar, Nov. 2nd is on Monday. Will the park open on Monday, or Friday, the 6th?
Hi Melanie. The park is on schedule to open Monday, Nov. 2, not Friday. Apologies for the error. Our previous comment will be edited to show the proper date.
According to my calendar, Nov. 2nd is a Monday. Will the park open on Monday, the 2nd, or Friday, the 6th?
