Douglas County’s Nov. 10 open house runs from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Commissioners’ Hearing Room at the Philip S. Miller Building, 100 Third Street in Castle Rock. It’s a drop-in event with staff and project partners, with no formal presentation planned.
Financing is among the subjects residents can examine. The county’s November 4 announcement says commissioners will consider Certificates of Participation, or COPs, and other Zebulon agreements at their November 24 business meeting. That meeting is to include public comment.
The county describes voter-approved parks sales tax funding as initial project support, with anticipated facility revenue intended to pay for operations, maintenance and debt payments. Those are the county’s financing expectations, not a guarantee of future revenue.
Plans for the roughly 46-acre site in northern Douglas County include ice rinks, indoor courts, a fitness center and outdoor athletic fields. A four-field baseball complex and an aquatic center with a 50-meter competition pool are also planned.
The county reports that site work is underway and projects a late-2028 opening. Open-house materials are to address the layout, utilities, environmental considerations and construction schedule. The image accompanying this story is the county’s concept rendering, not a photograph of a completed facility.
