A Company Announces Plans For A New Rec Center In S. Bismarck

Bismarck is Getting a New Rec Center

A development company has just announced plans to open a new recreation and all-purpose center in South Bismarck. The Paramount Development Group and Inland Oil & Gas say plans are in the works for Next Play Rec Center, a future-focused, multi-use recreational facility that will serve all ages and all levels of activity.

This recreational center is expected to be about more than just sports. The vision for the Next Play Rec Center is "Building community and investing in the next generation through spaces designed for movement, connection, and growth." The facility is expected to bring together sports, fitness, and everyday wellness under one roof, intended to appeal to both the youth and families.

The Next Play Rec Center is expected to be more of a hybrid facility with a combination of public availability and spaces reserved for different groups or organizations (athletic fields, courts, and turf areas). Some of the facility features include a cafe, an indoor walking track, and a playground.

Where will the Next Play Rec Center be Located?

Plans are being drawn up as we speak, and the Next Play Rec Center will be located in south Bismarck at 2100 Vermont Avenue, in the former UNFI building right off of Airport Road. Developers say the center will support a variety of uses.

How is this Rec Center Being Funded?

Developers say this project will be paid for by a combination of private investors, partnerships, and sponsorship opportunities. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities with this facility, you can find out more information here.
