The Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District is considering opening an Adventure Recreation Center aimed at teenagers and young adults before June 2014.
The 18,000-square-foot center would include a rock climbing wall, batting cages, laser tag, basketball, slacklining and a 6,000-square-foot indoor skate park. The center would target patrons between 15 and 30 years old.
The center will be discussed tonight at the district's budget committee's work session.
If the project is approved, the district would borrow $382,474 to lease a site, renovate it and buy equipment. The district plans to pay back the loan over 10 years with 27.3 percent interest, according to the budget proposal.
After the initial costs, the center would pay for itself, according to the proposal. The center is budgeted to raise $661,616 in the fiscal year starting in July.
The center's entire budget would be considered an "Enterprise Fund" by the district, meaning it would not be financially dependent on tax revenue.
The district would hire two full-time staff and some part-time employees for the center.
Overall, the district's proposed budget for the fiscal year starting in July would be $43.7 million, a 4.6 percent increase from the current budget.
The budget committee will meet at 6 p.m. tonight at 5550 S.W. Hall Boulevard in Beaverton.
