Redmond’s Hub recreation center opening pushed to late summer or early fall

REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) - Redmond’s long-anticipated Hub Aquatic and Recreation Center is nearing completion, but officials now say the opening will likely come later than originally planned.

The 56,000-square-foot facility, located at Southwest 35th Street and Lava Avenue, is expected to open in late summer or early fall, according to the Redmond Area Park and Recreation District.

Executive Director Katie Hammer said the district had initially hoped to welcome the public by mid-summer.

“Although RAPRD had hoped to open the facility in mid-summer, current projections indicate that the Hub Aquatic and Recreation Center will likely open in late summer or early fall,” Hammer said.

Construction on the $49 million project, funded by a voter-approved bond measure in 2022, is in its final stages. Work on the west side of the building is nearing completion, while progress continues in the aquatic areas.

District leaders say delays are largely tied to the pool construction, which is taking longer than expected as crews prioritize long-term durability and safety.

When complete, The Hub will replace the aging Cascade Swim Center and expand recreation options for the growing Redmond community. The facility will include lap and leisure pools, a water slide and hot tub, fitness areas, gym space and community rooms.

RAPRD officials say an official opening date will be announced once construction timelines are finalized.
