ELKO RECREATION & EVENTS CENTER

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Elko is committed to bringing a Recreation/Aquatic

Center and an Events Center to Elko to serve all Elko County residents. The new

Recreation Center will include an indoor competition swimming pool, outdoor

aquatic complex, gymnasium, full service kitchen/concessions, multi-purpose

space, youth rooms, game room, and fitness center. The Events Center will be

approximately 70,000 square feet with 6,500 seating capacity. The new Events

Center will be the headquarters for major concerts, sporting events,

equestrian/rodeo productions, and several other event style offerings. The City

Council voted unanimously to commit the Herrera and Kump fields as the location

for these new projects.

The Boys & Girls Club has put the development of this project into full gear and

has entered into an agreement with Myers Anderson Architects for design and

with Michael Clay Corporation to build the new projects. Community meetings

will now be held to allow every individual the opportunity to give input on exactly

what amenities should be included.

The new Centers will be available to the entire community and individuals are not

required to be Boys & Girls Club members to attend the facilities, events, or

programs. The Boys & Girls Club will make these accessible to all regardless of

ability to pay.

The case is set and the time is now. Joining the Boys & Girls Club efforts and help

bring this generational project to Elko County.
