A new recreation center is set to begin construction in Denver.
Denver held a groundbreaking ceremony on Saturday for the new Westwood Recreation Center.
Located at the corner of Morrison Road and Walsh Place, the new facility will have an aquatics center with two bodies of water — a lap pool a lazy river and waterslide that loops in and out of the building — as well as multi-purpose rooms, a full-size gym, fitness areas, locker rooms and kids-watch area. Outdoor amenities include multi-use turf fields. [News 9]

An elaborate indoor pickleball facility is coming to Lynnwood as the burgeoning sport continues to expand its reach within the state in which the sport was founded.
Pickleball Kingdom will inhabit a 40,000 square foot facility, replacing a now-shuttered Bed Bath and Beyond located at 3115 196th Street SW. The facility will have 12 courts, a pro store, locker rooms, showers, an upstairs mezzanine, private rooms for events and parties, and a dink wall—a virtual screen used for practicing swings.
Coaching clinics, training, leagues and tournaments, and youth programs will all be available to members.
“The state of Washington is renowned for its passionate pickleball community, and Lynnwood is an excellent choice for Pickleball Kingdom,” Ace Rodrigues, Founder and CEO of Pickleball Kingdom, said. “John and Mara Hylton bring extensive experience and are committed to providing top-tier facilities and a welcoming environment. We’re thrilled to bring our brand to this vibrant community.” [My Northwest]
