The Loma Verde Community Center, located at 1420 Loma Lane, is within the Loma Verde Park, a 6.28-acre neighborhood park which opened in 1971. The center includes recreation and aquatics facilities and is one of the City’s busiest recreation centers.

Most of the funding for the project, estimated at about $12.8 million for the first two phases (design and construction of the building), was provided by Measure P, the half-cent sales tax voters approved in 2016 for infrastructure projects. Another $8 million was funded by COVID-19 American Rescue Plan Act dollars to complete phase three (aquatics).

The recreation center consists of a new multi-purpose gymnasium, dance rooms, a crafts room, fitness room, and game room, as well as restrooms, pool shower/changing rooms, and classrooms. The upgrades will enable the City to expand current sports, learning, and recreation activities offered to the community. 

Additionally, the former pool has been replaced with a new recreation pool, a separate 50-meter competition pool, a splash pad (water feature), and a classroom/party room. The recreation pool will be ideal for swim lessons and water play, while the competition pool will be fully equipped to host swim and water polo competitions as well as lap swimming. The splash pad is surrounded by a safety fence, adjacent to the pool, and is designed for waterplay. The classroom/party room features large overhead doors facing the pool area for maximum flexibility and indoor/outdoor functionality.

See you at Loma Verde on December 9 for games, crafts, snacks, tours of the facility, and free swim lessons. Please register for the free swim lessons in advance.
