In September of 2020, in conjunction with Malmstrom Air Force Base, the City of Great Falls was awarded a $10 million dollar Department of Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP) grant to fund a new Recreation Center. The new facility costs $20 million dollars.  The City matched the $10 million dollar grant by bonding to use a portion of the Park District Number 1 assessments. Construction of the new facility began in September of 2021, and the facility opened in July 2024.
