Issaquah Community Center, 301 Rainier Boulevard S. See Map The community center, both inside and out, is the center of Issaquah's Parks and Recreation activities. Some of the inside amenities include a computer lab, fitness area, running track, sports courts, and youth center. The expansive front lawn is the home of frequent summer music concerts, and the City puts together outdoor programs such as "Beat the Heat" splash days and chalk art festivals. There's even a full size skateboard park out back!
Inside, the community center has a lot of flexible open space. The bulk of the building is filled with three multi-purpose sports courts. A visitor on a typical day may see basketball players in one court, an aerobics class in another, and toddlers playing with large toys in the other. The dividers can be removed for large events, such as the annual Kiwanis auction. The courts are ringed with a second floor running track - the walls of which are lined with historic photos of Issaquah.

Construction
of the community center began in 1995, and was completed in 1997. The design of the
building was inspired by a number of
historical photographs. Of particular interest to the planning committee were
photos of old mining facilities, the railroad depot, and the original Issaquah
school house building.
