Boardman Park kicks off GO Bond campaign The “Yes for Rec Center” campaign for approval of a general obligation bond in the amount of 12.390 million on the November 4, 2014 ballot proposed by Boardman Park & Recreation District kicked off with a barbecue at Baker Pavilion on September 8th. The money raised by the bond will fund the purchase of six acres of land adjacent to the SAGE Center for the construction of
Boardman Community Recreation Center. When complete, the approximately 50,000 square foot, 2story structure is expected to include a 25 meter, 6-lane indoor swimming pool with slide and waves, a warm water therapy pool, gymnasium & bleachers with 2 basketball courts, a climbing wall, fitness center with equipment, aerobic room, year round indoor walking track, a multipurpose community room, lockers, concessions and storage. The project is the culmination of over 25 years of dreams, hopes and plans. Food and beverages were donated for the celebration barbecue, and the approximately 180 people who attended were able to browse large renderings of the proposed building and layout. Yard signs “Yes for Rec Center” were passed out to those who wished to show their support for this project. Speakers included Ray Michael, Board Member of Boardman Photo left: Karen Kegler and Maria Richards have been two very active advocates of the “Yes for Rec Center” campaign.
Park & Recreation District, Gary and Kathy Neal, volunteer chairmen of “Yes for Rec Center Committee”, members of the committee Karen Kegler and Maria Richards, as well as several high school students who are fervent in their hopes this project becomes a reality for Boardman.
