Next steps

An open-house event at the recreation center will offer an opportunity for recreation center users and the public to learn more about the project and its construction phase. A date, time and other event details will announced shortly.

Project funding 

Painter Recreation Center was allocated $297,675 in funding as part of MPRB's 2017 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for building rehabilitation and improvements. 

 

In addition, Painter Park has $1 million allocated in 2019 and 2020 from the 20-Year Neighborhood Park Plan (NPP20), a long-term initiative that provides $11 million annually in additional funding to maintain, repair and replace facilities. The NPP20 funding will be used to implement elements of the park master plan that is currently in development through the Southwest Service Area Master Plan
