Town of Killington seeks community input on recreation master plan

Three concepts for new pool area to be revealed Tuesday, April 1

The town of Killington Recreation Dept. had previously determined that the town needed to update the outdated recreation master plan. The previous plan was prepared almost 20 years ago, back in 2009. Since then, the town’s population has grown placing additional demands on the town’s recreation facilities. The current recreation facilities are in need of significant repairs, particularly with regard to the pool and the pool house.

Town staff issued a request for proposal (RFP) and selected the firm of Vermont Integrated Architecture (VIA) to undertake an assessment of the current facilities and to develop a plan to redevelop the Johnson Recreation Center to meet the future needs of the town. In collaboration with town staff, VIA developed three proposed concepts for the redesign of the Johnson Recreation Center and the repurposing of the existing town hall on River Road for use by the recreation dept. 

VIA will present these concepts at a Public Meeting to be held on April 1 at 6:30 p.m. at the Public Safety Building and virtually via Zoom (see town calendar online for link: killingtontown.com/calendar).
