Bozeman officials are considering a new sports and swimming complex to address decades of overcrowding. The current facility lacks sufficient space to support the city's expanding population and athletic programs.
Bozeman officials are revisiting plans for a new recreation and swim center to address a massive backlog for swim lessons and overcrowded facilities as the population grows. While the project has been in the works for nearly 20 years, the current proposal has been scaled down to 38,000 square feet to make it more affordable for taxpayers. Residents likely won't see a funding measure on the ballot for at least two years as the city prioritizes housing and public safety.
