New Recreation and Aquatics Center coming in 2026!
Built in 1975, the existing Recreation Center has seen only limited upgrades and routine maintenance over the years. Without a major renovation, many of the original construction systems and materials remain in use, leading to challenges such as wear and tear, code compliance issues, the presence of hazardous materials, and systems nearing the end of their functional lifespan. As we prepare to open the new Recreation & Aquatics Center, we are excited to share a glimpse of what’s to come. This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a vibrant hub for our community, offering a wide range of activities and resources for all ages. Below, you can view a video rendering that highlights the innovative design and features of the new center, which will soon become a cornerstone of recreation and wellness in South Lake Tahoe.
