We are creating a new neighborhood
It's success will be measured by how well it provides for a healthy lifestyle. One way to ensure health and fitness is to design a walkable community where recreation and open space is embedded into design. At Larrabee Springs we are working with Chuckanut Rugby Club and others to provide a sports complex for youth and adult alike, something our citizens really want. We need to get your input, but, so far, we know it will look like this:
- All weather fields for practice and tournaments so rugby and other sports can be played year round
- A safe and convenient place for kids to practice and play. An indoor clubhouse to stay dry, fly your team colors, do your homework and be with friends in a positive environment
- A place where parents, coaches and players can all feel comfortable and welcome
- No cost to the City or the taxpayer and no waiting for funding
- A facility that finally centralizes practices and makes carpooling, transit, biking and walking a realistic alternative to being spread out city/county wide. Reducing commutes, costs, carbon footprint and stress for busy parents who support kid sports
- A state of the art facility where we can host teams from New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, England, Wales, and the world
- Lots of nearby places to stay gather and celebrate with your team and friends
