The REC - Clarion Recreation Center

04/23/2026

Thanks to all that came to our informational meeting last week. It was a great turnout. Here are the latest blueprints and renderings of the project. The major change compared to the original plan is bringing the track and fitness area down to the first level which eliminates the need for an elevator and saves on engineering/structural costs. We welcome feedback and look forward to working with the community to make this happen. Please reach out if you have questions or would like to get involved.

This project is still very much alive! Please consider coming out Wednesday evening to hear an update on the Clarion rec center project. If you can't make it, please reach out to us with questions. We will be posting updated architectural renderings and videos after the meeting Wednesday.

We had a wonderful evening joining Iowa’s 15th Annual Healthiest State Walk on Wednesday! 👟✨ Clarion Recreation Center board members enjoyed walking alongside so many local organizations and community members.

A big thank-you to Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics for hosting this great event—and to everyone who stopped by to learn more about our new single-floor plans. Your support and excitement mean so much as we continue shaping the business plan and budget for the Rec Center.

We’re looking forward to sharing more updates and being back out in the community with you all very soon!
