Centennial year! So much has happened since then, <strong>and</strong> we are<br />

looking forward to featuring our town’s history throughout the<br />

year <strong>and</strong> in our official Centennial Celebration on April 3rd at the<br />

each city-wide event as we decorate the town with Centennial<br />

Celebrations. Big changes are going on in Selah this year –<br />

Selah Community Days will see a change in location, SPRSA will<br />

see their first year as managers of your new pool, <strong>and</strong> the Selah<br />

A letter from the City of Selah <strong>Rec</strong>reation Manager<br />

The new Selah Aquatic Center is well underway <strong>and</strong> scheduled to be<br />

completed by June <strong>2019</strong>. In the past, the City of Selah operated the pool<br />

during the summer months, meaning that memberships, daily passes,<br />

programs, <strong>and</strong> pool employment were administered by the Selah <strong>Parks</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>Rec</strong>reation Department. With the recent demolition of the<br />

J. Francis Pool, the City of Selah is no longer in the pool business.<br />

The Selah Park <strong>and</strong> <strong>Rec</strong>reation Service Area Board (SPRSA), (covers the<br />

same geographical borders as the school district: approximately 27,000<br />

residents) was created as a junior taxing district to collect taxes to pay<br />

for the costs of constructing <strong>and</strong> operating the new aquatic center.<br />

Construction for the new pool has been financed by a $6.2 million dollar<br />

bond to be repaid over 20 years. A maintenance <strong>and</strong> operations levy to<br />

be proposed by the SPRSA Board is expected later this year in order to<br />

finance maintenance & operations of the new pool.<br />

The City of Selah will no longer maintain, oversee, or operate the<br />

Selah pool. The SPRSA is the governmental organization designated to<br />

collect taxes in order to construct, manage <strong>and</strong> operate the pool, <strong>and</strong><br />

will operate, <strong>and</strong> oversee the facility. Please note that any <strong>and</strong> all<br />

scheduling, reservations, memberships, daily or season passes, rentals,<br />

lessons or questions will need to go to the SPRSA – see contact info<br />

above.<br />

Respectfully,<br />

Treesa Morales<br />

A letter from the SPRSA Board President<br />

Selah Community Members,<br />

As we look forward to the completion of the new Selah Aquatic Center<br />

in Summer <strong>2019</strong>, I want to be sure you know the Selah Park & <strong>Rec</strong>reation<br />

Service Area Board. The Board is made up of seven community members<br />

who volunteer their time to make sure the Selah community continues<br />

to enjoy wonderful Aquatic facilities.<br />

The Board is currently managing the construction of the Aquatic Center<br />

<strong>and</strong> will manage operations at the facility in Summer <strong>2019</strong> - if the<br />

ongoing fundraising efforts are successful. When the Selah Aquatic<br />

Center Maintenance & Operations Levy failed by approximately 40 votes<br />

in August 2018, the Board was left without money to operate the<br />

Aquatic Center in <strong>2019</strong>. The Board looks forward to putting an M&O Levy<br />

on the ballot in <strong>2019</strong>, so we can guarantee funding for operations at the<br />

Selah Aquatic Center starting in 2020.<br />

The Selah Park & <strong>Rec</strong>reation Service Area Board meets regularly at<br />

the Civic Center. Our meetings are open to the public. All are welcome!<br />

You can find our meeting schedule <strong>and</strong> lots more at our website:<br />

A Note from the <strong>Rec</strong>reation Coordinator: Due to the construction of the<br />

at other locations in town, Selah <strong>Parks</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Rec</strong>reation will not have a<br />

Fall Soccer Season. Instead, the department will run five, one day camps in<br />

place of the season, wrapping up with a jamboree the final weekend.<br />

116 Merinda Dr.<br />

Selah, Wa 98942<br />

Where everyone, regardless of age or ability, can play!<br />

Selah’s Volunteer Park is catching the eye of visitors, city leaders, <strong>and</strong><br />

government officials from all over the State of Washington. Presented<br />

as the featured project at the January 2018 <strong>Rec</strong>reation <strong>and</strong> Conservation<br />

Office board meeting in Olympia, Volunteer Park is an all-inclusive park<br />

fit for any age <strong>and</strong> any ability to join in collaborative <strong>and</strong> creative play.<br />

The whole park – <strong>and</strong> all its components – is ADA accessible so those<br />

with learning or physical disabilities are no longer restricted by surfacing<br />

or space or height. If you haven’t seen it yet, pack up the kids <strong>and</strong> take<br />

a trip to 116 Merinda Dr in Selah <strong>and</strong> check out the fun. Bring a picnic<br />

<strong>and</strong> enjoy the sitting areas, your walking shoes to get some exercise<br />

on the paved walking path, <strong>and</strong> a Frisbee for the nearby green space<br />

next to the playground. The City of Selah is excited to add new features<br />

<strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>scaping over the next few years as we continue to make this an<br />

unforgettable destination park.<br />
