![]() Administrative and tournament office spaces.Adventure track with elevation (6.2 laps per mile) and a flat track (13.5 laps per mile).Group fitness studios and a spinning studio.Cardio, circuit, stretching, plyometric and free-weight stations.Competition natatorium featuring an 11-lane, 25-yard x 9-lane, 25-meter pool and diving board, as well as a 3-lane, 25-yard warm up pool with deck separated spectator seating.Competition gymnasium court space to allow for five high school-sized basketball courts (can be broken down to maximize usage, such as eight elementary-sized basketball courts, six volleyball courts, 12 pickleball courts, etc.).The proposed facility could include a variety of complementary amenities, such as: The property is centrally located within Castle Rock and equidistant and along a frequently traveled route for many Town residents. The Brickyard property is located adjacent to Interstate 25 and the future Prairie Hawk extension, placing it between two I-25 interchanges and located along the Town's ring road. They envision the facility as part of an overall mixed-use development project called the Brickyard that would clean up a blighted industrial area and energize the proposed development. Confluence proposes to build the sports development center at the former Acme Brick facility on Prairie Hawk Drive. All undeveloped park properties owned by the Town that could accommodate a future facility are located within residential areas, and a sports development center could potentially generate significant traffic, especially during tournaments, requiring a more ideal and centrally located site.Ĭonfluence Companies, the developer of the Riverwalk and Encore, answered the RFP and provided a proposal to provide land and options for financing and construction services to advance the project. Since the Town owns limited site options to construct a recreation facility of this nature, staff issued a Request for Proposals to seek potential partners to contribute land and other value to the project. A new sports development center could help fill in this gap by offering new and much-needed facility space for league and tournament play, developmental programming and expanded drop-in use. The Town will need continued commitment to meet residents' recreation needs, and unlike private health clubs or specialized facilities, demand for large, team-based athletic spaces such as gymnasiums, ice or competitive pools is unlikely to be met by the private sector. The recreation industry is thriving and drivers of this trend include escalating health insurance costs and the desire for healthy lifestyles. By the time a potential new facility is developed, the Town will have approximately 90,000 residents. The Town has not constructed a new gymnasium or competitive pool since 1988. The study identified the community need to have the next proposed facility focus on sports development and fitness in order to complement the youth-focused Miller Activity Complex and traditional recreation options available at the Recreation Center. ![]() The purpose of the study was to assess relevant project details for the next facility, including factors such as programming needs and options, development costs, soft costs and future operational and site requirements. ![]() Throughout 2021, staff partnered with architecture firm Barker Rinker Seacat to conduct an Indoor Recreation Feasibility Study. New facilities are funded through impact fees. To continue to maintain quality of life expectations for a growing community, the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and Strategic Plan support the development of a new indoor recreation facility. The Castle Rock community supports Town-operated indoor recreation and has for over 30 years, since the Recreation Center was built in 1988, when the population was only about 8,000. ![]()
