Pueblo County Parks and Recreation launched a pair of probable concepts for an forthcoming local community recreation center on the St. Charles Mesa at a general public workshop on Monday.
The St. Charles Mesa Group Recreation Center is an 18.4-acre undertaking involving San Pedro Avenue and South Aspen Road in the Salt Creek community. Architects from Logan Simpson, the project’s consulting firm, mentioned the models of each principle and gained comments from about 50 local community members all through the workshop at the existing Pueblo County Recreation Centre, 1650 Cooper Position.
Different principles offered all through the workshop have been intended to demonstrate “standard house allocation” of the challenge and have been not intended to be in depth strategies for the venture, said Jana McKenzie, principal landscape architect with Logan Simpson.
“Concept A” and “Thought B” incorporate place for outside classrooms, an outside basketball court, community garden plots, a versatile turf spot, a multipurpose subject, a playground, an indoor recreation center, 4 pickleball courts, a fenced off-leash dog region, a bike park and parking heaps.
Colorado Point out College Extension 4-H solutions, a modest corral and agriculture examination plots also will be housed on the residence, according to renderings of equally substitute principles.
In Thought A, CSU Extension 4-H lecture rooms, teaching rooms and places of work would be housed in the current Pueblo County Recreation Centre creating. A 15,622-sq.-foot expansion to the existing recreation middle would residence a gymnasium with an indoor managing track, multipurpose conference hall shared with CSU extension, kitchen, physical fitness center, group exercising studio, multiuse lecture rooms, a teenager exercise middle and tech lounge.
Thought B would include the very same facilities but relocate CSU Extension 4-H providers to a different creating close to the north close of the St. Charles Mesa Community Recreation Middle challenge space. The Pueblo County Recreation Heart would retain its current gymnasium with the prospect of creating a second gymnasium to accommodate an indoor monitor.
One more significant big difference in between the two concepts is the location of a Pueblo County Parks Upkeep facility. Notion A spots the routine maintenance facility in close proximity to the southeast end of the challenge area. Principle B locations the maintenance facility farther north, but nearer to residencies along Cooper Spot.
“(The routine maintenance facility) is an industrial facility … It’ll have machines coming and heading all the time,” McKenzie reported. “When they begin up gear in the early morning, each individual time they back up, it goes beep, beep, beep, beep, and you have safety lights. The serious query is, is this a excellent location proper subsequent to a neighbor for that certain motion?”
In offering feedback, community associates observed gain to locating the upkeep facility away from residential locations as witnessed in Principle A, but considered Principle B to have an gain when it came to the site of CSU Extension 4-H services, according to conclusions presented by Greg Shaner, director of civil services at Matrix Layout Team Inc.

“Going the CSU constructing up to the north gives it an chance to grow to be who it is with this accentual really feel to it,” Shaner stated. “The rec center can also establish what it demands to be on its own … they equally need to have their very own id, and separating them out offers them that skill that time to do that.”
