City Commission Looks at Recreation Center

The Community Recreation Center at Douglass Park has been proposed as a $3.4 million facility at the intersection of 10th Street and Fort Riley Boulevard at Douglass Park. It  would house a basketball court, indoor walking track, and other amenities. The City of Manhattan has been approved for a Section 108 guaranteed loan to fund construction of the facility, with debt service payments to be made with part of the city’s annual Community Development Block Grant allocation. The application is currently approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
