Pinkard Construction breaks ground on Windsor rec. center




Pinkard Construction broke ground on the town of Windsor’s Community Recreation Center.

The new addition will include an indoor pool, new track and expanded fitness area.

Windsor residents approved a 0.75 percent sales tax increase, which will repay the bonds the city sold in June to fund the $16.7 million project.

The groundbreaking featured a sand pile with plastic beach toys served the dual purpose as a sandbox for the many children who attended the event and the site of the ceremonial shoveling of dirt – or sand in this case.

Representatives from the town, Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture, Greenplay LLC and others stepped up to man the plastic shovels and buckets and give the project its official start.

Designed by Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture, the expansion will add 39,000 square feet to the existing recreation center and will include an indoor pool with slides and lap lanes, a spa, and an indoor running and walking track.

The project is expected to break ground early next month and be complete in August 2016.
