North County Recreation District: From a pool to plays, Nehalem's hub serves coastal community * Oregon ArtsWatch
Briefly

The North County Recreation District (NCRD) in Oregon's Tillamook County showcases how a small community can create a rich cultural environment. Launched to save a community pool, it has expanded to include a performing arts center, fitness classes, and recreational facilities. The district celebrates its 30th anniversary alongside the opening of a new $16.4 million aquatics center, bolstered by various community programs and offering amenities for both residents and visitors. The NCRD now stands as a vibrant center for education, arts, wellness, and recreation.
"When we started this, it was the pool, a one-room fitness center, and a teen center operating only on weekends. Now, we are the hub, and we are education, arts, wellness, and recreation."
"The Nehalem community center, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life, serves the local residents and visitors with a variety of programs and facilities."
