Bentonville Celebrates Groundbreaking for Adult Recreation Center
The city of Bentonville has officially broken ground on its highly anticipated Adult Recreation Center, marking a significant milestone in the project. The center is slated to open its doors in the first quarter of 2026, bringing with it a wide range of amenities and activities for the local community.
A .25 Million Investment
The project comes with a hefty price tag of ,258,058, which was approved by the Bentonville City Council. This substantial investment is expected to yield a state-of-the-art facility that will cater to the recreational needs of adults in the area.
The Adult Recreation Center is part of a broader development plan, which also includes the 8th Street Gateway Park. The city’s long-term vision is to create a comprehensive recreation complex that will enrich the lives of Bentonville residents.
Construction to Begin Soon
With the groundbreaking ceremony complete, the focus now shifts to the construction phase. According to St. Josh Stacey, deputy parks director, construction is set to commence as early as next week. The rapid progress is expected to keep the project on track for its scheduled 2026 opening.
A Hub for Community Activity
Once complete, the Adult Recreation Center will take over the current Bentonville Community Center. This change is expected to bring a new wave of community engagement, providing a platform for locals to come together, socialize, and participate in various activities.
The center’s opening will not only enhance the quality of life for Bentonville residents but also contribute to the city’s economic and social growth.
A Bright Future Ahead
As Bentonville embarks on this ambitious project, the city’s residents can look forward to a vibrant and inclusive recreational space. With its focus on community building and social interaction, the Adult Recreation Center is poised to become a beacon of activity in the heart of the city.
