Upcoming Projects
Yreka Swim Center and Native Park

Funding will help the City acquire approximately 7.8 acres, construct a new pool with retractable cover, a swim center building, parking lot, and support facilities, construct a native park with a sculpture garden, a meditation garden & butterfly viewing area, a playground, a picnic area, pathways with vista points of the mountains, and public art, along with landscaping and lighting throughout the park.
