Title
Discuss and consider action to approve a resolution establishing the name of the new multi-generational recreation center.
Summary
The City of Pflugerville is developing a multi-generational recreation center at the corner of Main Street and FM 685 as part of the Downtown East Project to provide essential facilities that will support high-quality community services for generations to come.
The Multi-generational center will serve as a vibrant hub for physical health, mental well-being, social connection, youth development, and cultural expression. It will feature four high school-sized basketball courts convertible for pickleball and volleyball, a pool, an indoor turf field, a cardio and fitness area, classrooms, a multi-generational lounge, child watch and indoor playground, event space, an indoor walking/adventure track, and retail space.
To establish a distinct identity, the Facilities Subcommittee and Recreation Steering Committee reviewed potential names, ultimately selecting “The Monarch.” This name embodies transformation, endurance, and connection, reflecting the project's commitment to wellness, accessibility, and sustainability while serving as a vibrant hub for recreation, culture, and social enrichment. Additionally, “The Monarch” represents joy, positivity, and new beginnings and serves as an acronym for Movement, Outdoors, Nature, Adventure, Recreation, Community, and Health (MONARCH)-reinforcing the center’s purpose and impact on the Pflugerville community.
