SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Locals can put their mark on the new South Lake Tahoe Recreation and Aquatics Center by helping fund the facility as part of the Legacy Tribute Program. Sponsor a commemorative tile for permanent display on the building entry wall.

The opportunity to be individually involved in a memorable and affordable
funding program toward the future of recreation at South Shore was recently
announced by the South Tahoe Parks Foundation. The wall of tiles will grace the
entry outside of the state-of-the-art facility and be on display before thousands of
people with a collection of 8 x 8- and 4 x 8-inch tiles designating each donor with
their customized message.

Tile sponsorship

8″ x 8″ tiles – $300 for tile/$375 with logo 4″ x 4″ tiles – $150/$200 with logo

These tiles are a lasting tribute to loved ones or an enduring legacy. A 4-inch x 4-inch replica tile for $75 is also available for use as an office or home paperweight or decoration.

Contributors are invited to add a personal legacy message and choose from the
optional online clip art collection to demonstrate their support for recreation in
South Lake Tahoe. Tiles come with a lifetime guarantee and will be laser engraved
with permanent, high-resolution lettering making each tile message highly visible.
The South Tahoe Parks Foundation has a goal of raising $1 million to furnish and equip the new $72 million recreation center currently under construction in the heart of South Lake Tahoe. Funds raised will also go to support center use passes for underserved community members, ensuring recreational access for all.

The new facility will complement and enhance Lake Tahoe’s national reputation as a leading recreational destination, while also serving as a hub for locals and visitors of all ages as a social, fitness and gathering place. The complex will house a six-lane
swimming pool, a lazy river, multiple basketball courts, batting cages, an expansive
event room and deck overlooking Lake Tahoe, senior nutrition services, and space
for related programs. Located at U.S. Hwy 50 and Rufus Allen Boulevard, construction is currently on schedule for its early 2026 opening. The exterior shell
is nearing completion, fireproofing is being installed, interior stud framing has
begun, and rough-ins of mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire suppression are
underway.

South Lake Tahoe Parks Foundation leaders and supporters believe the Recreation
and Aquatics Center represents a winning project to serve the community for
generations. Various contributors have stepped up to assist including NBC Sports
and American Century Investments, each with $10,000 pledges to honor Tim and
Stacy Wakefield, longtime participants in the destination’s annual celebrity golf
tournament; Harrah’s and Harveys Lake Tahoe also contributed $10,000.
In addition to the Tile Donation Program, the South Tahoe Parks Foundation is
offering naming rights to rooms, equipment sponsorships, and other needs. For
