This state-of-the-art facility is designed to serve all ages and abilities. The center features a wide range of recreation and fitness spaces, multipurpose rooms, a gymnasium, and an expansive aquatics area.

Parking at the new Recreation & Aquatics Center is limited for the Grand Opening event, so guests are encouraged to carpool whenever possible. Additional off-site parking will be available at the current Recreation Center (1180 Rufus Allen Blvd) and at Lakeview Commons. A parking shuttle will operate from 9:15 to 9:50 a.m. to bring guests from those off-site parking locations to the Recreation & Aquatics Center in time for the 10:00 a.m. opening ceremonies. The following routes may help get close to the Recreation & Aquatics Center:

  • Route 55 – Connects areas including Lake Tahoe Community College, Zephyr Cove, Round Hill, and Stateline, with transfer opportunities to Route 50.

Guests can also use Lake Link, a free on-demand microtransit shuttle that operates throughout the South Shore. Riders can request a ride through the Lake Link app or by phone for convenient pick-up and drop-off within the service area.
