The long-awaited park and rec center on the west side of Berthoud along Berthoud Parkway and Mountain Avenue is on schedule for completion late this year. Town Administrator Chris Kirk said the town anticipates beginning to train staff in October with a public opening of the rec center in November or December.
The rec center is a 54,000-square-foot facility that includes a fitness area, two basketball courts, gym, class and meeting rooms, a bouldering feature and an aquatics facility.
In addition, the recreation complex will include outdoor playgrounds; outdoor basketball courts; a skate park; and two, large multi-use athletic fields that can be subdivided into smaller fields, Kirk said.
