Hermiston Parks and Recreation Director Brandon Artz sits down to share updates on the city's major recreational projects. Artz provided insight into ongoing community surveys regarding the proposed Hermiston Aquatic Center — a long-requested indoor addition that would feature a 25-yard pool, therapy pool, and double-court gymnasium built onto the existing outdoor facility. He also discussed the implementation of the city's 2020 Open Space Master Plan, highlighting upcoming developments like Sherman Park, efforts to bridge park gaps across Highway 395 with expanded trail connections, and how his team uses cell phone data technology to manage high-volume spots like the popular pickleball complex.
