Community Recreation Centers

Parks and recreation, community funded, and junior high and high school facilities
From strategic and master planning and feasibility studies through construction bid reviews and then on to facility management and staff training; SFA offers the widest range of services for municipal recreation centers and parks and recreation developments. SFA’s services address core issues and trends in sustainability, operational cost containment, cost recovery, energy conservation, economic development, management excellence, and public/private partnership opportunities with YMCA’s, Boys and Girls Clubs, and others.  

Because publically funded sport and recreation centers are developed in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders within a given county, city, or school district, SFA’s process has been developed to acknowledge the political and social sensitivities of such developments. 

If you are currently offering or planning a new development for youth sports, community recreation, after-school programming, senior health and fitness, and or civic meeting rooms; SFA is here to assist you in meeting the needs of an ever-changing demographic. SFA offers a host of services to assist in the development of community-based recreation and health/fitness facilities. From concept and feasibility study, through construction and facility management consulting, SFA is here to help your community achieve its long-term goals. In these projects, we are often partnered with local architects and other local vendors. Where needed, SFA can also provide the entire development team including sports facility architects and engineers.
