Programming will be developed and finalized before the facility opens. The facility will also offer youth and adult recreation basketball and other sports leagues. The facility will be available and open to Bear River Tribal Members at no cost and available to the public on a daily fee basis and monthly fee basis. The multi-use Bear River Recreation Center will be a venue for entertainment and concerts while serving as a gym and athletic facility on a day to day basis. The Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria is pleased to announce the Groundbreaking of the Bear River Recreation Center on the Bear River Rancheria on July 14, 2015. Here’s a press release from the tribe with more details:

There’s a swimming pool in the illustrations, too, but Mattson said that won’t be constructed until a later phase of the project. Zoom in and you’ll see a two-floor setup that includes a racquetball court, a group fitness area, a cardio/weight room, kitchens, locker rooms, bathrooms and the basketball court, which can be transformed to accommodate bleacher seating and either a boxing ring or an MMA octagon. If you’d like a closer look, check out this pdf of the design concepts featuring various seating configurations. Construction is projected to take about a year, with the facility opening next summer. In a phone conversation earlier today, Bear River’s executive director of tribal government operations, Matthew Mattson, said the structure will host a gym and recreation center that includes a full-size, hardwood basketball court, a teen center and a workout facility with room for classes in Zumba, CrossFit and the like.Īt night the place is designed to seat up to a thousand people for concerts and sporting events such as boxing matches and mixed martial arts (MMA) fights. With a construction site that shares a bluff with the Bear River Casino and Hotel, the facility will offer free access to tribal members and be available to the general public for daily or monthly fees.

The Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria is set to break ground on a 23,000-square foot recreation center designed to serve as a multi-sport activity palace by day and premier entertainment venue by night.
