Bob L. Burger Recreation Center at 111 W. Baseline Road in Lafayette opened in 1990 as a comprehensive municipal facility providing recreational opportunities for the Lafayette community across aquatics, fitness, youth activities, sports, and special programs that serve residents of all ages from infants to seniors. Operating Monday through Friday from 5am to 8pm and weekends from 8am to 5pm, the center features multiple recreational spaces including fitness areas with weight machines, the Rose Lueras Pool Complex (a five-pool system with kiddie/play pool, lazy river/tube ride, 25-yard six-lane pool, and 150-foot waterslide), youth sports courts and fields, community event spaces, and child care services through Bob's Child Watch. Through comprehensive programming including swim lessons and water fitness, after-school care (B.A.S.E) and summer camps for youth, group fitness classes and personal training, SilverSneakers programs for seniors, aerial yoga, and youth and adult sports leagues, the recreation center demonstrates how municipal infrastructure supports community health, social connection, and quality of life for approximately 30,000 Lafayette residents. Featured on Daily Grains' platform showcasing community infrastructure that supports local food systems, Bob L. Burger Recreation Center exemplifies how public recreation facilities strengthen regional economies by providing gathering spaces where farmers markets can operate, community members can build social connections that facilitate local food networks, and families can access affordable wellness programs that complement access to healthy local foods, demonstrating that thriving local grain economies require not only producers and processors but also the civic infrastructure that enables communities to gather, connect, and support shared economic and health outcomes.
