A new chapter for active adults in Bentonville, Arkansas, begins today.

The Bentonville Adult Recreation Center was designed as a dedicated wellness and social destination for residents ages 50+, providing opportunities to stay active, connected, and engaged in the heart of downtown Bentonville.

The project transformed and expanded the existing Parks and Recreation Administration Building into a vibrant community hub featuring a natatorium, gymnasium, indoor track, fitness and group fitness spaces, multipurpose rooms, outdoor pickleball courts, a café, and inviting gathering spaces.

We’re proud to celebrate this milestone alongside the City of Bentonville, Hight Jackson Associates, project partners, and the many community members whose vision helped bring this facility to life.

Congratulations to the City of Bentonville on creating a place where wellness, recreation, and community come together for generations to come.

We’re proud to celebrate the grand opening of the South Lake Tahoe Recreation & Aquatics Center, a major new investment in community wellness and connection.

Opened on April 18, the 64,000-square-foot, multigenerational facility brings together fitness, aquatics, and community spaces designed for all ages and abilities. Designed with a central gathering place as it’s hub, with views of the pines and sparkling Lake Tahoe, the amenities include a 6-lane lap pool, 2,500 SF activity pool with party room, two-court gymnasium for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball, fitness and weight areas, group exercise studio, arts and crafts spaces, and senior programming. A second-level event center with a deck overlooking Lake Tahoe provides a special venue for community gatherings.

From the opening ceremony to tours and community celebrations, the day marked the start of a vibrant new hub for residents and visitors alike. We’re honored to have partnered with the City of South Lake Tahoe alongside , CORE Construction, and the broader consultant team to bring this vision to life—a place rooted in the heart of its people that celebrates place and the spirit of Lake Tahoe.

We’re proud to celebrate the grand reopening of Reecy Davis Sr. Recreation Center in Greenville, Texas.

After a year and a half of renovations and expansion, city officials, invited guests, and community members gathered to mark this important milestone. Funded by Greenville’s voter-approved bond program, the project added 13,700 square feet to the existing 18,000-square-foot facility and delivered meaningful upgrades, including new gym flooring, updated restrooms, improved lighting and plumbing, and expanded program space. The revitalized center now features an additional gym, weight room, teen lounge, aerobics room, game room, and flexible multi-purpose room.

Named in honor of Greenville native Reecy Davis Sr., a professional heavyweight boxer known for his strength, discipline, and community pride, the center carries forward a legacy rooted in perseverance and local identity.

This reopening marks the first phase of a broader investment in Greenville’s recreational future. Through the same 2023 bond program, the City is also delivering the new Greenville SportsPark recreation center (Which was designed in tandem with this center by BRS). Working on both facilities concurrently has allowed for shared planning strategies, operational efficiencies, and cost savings, maximizing the community’s investment while creating complementary destinations for residents.

Congratulations to the City of Greenville on this exciting new chapter.
