The Lake Wilmore Park Recreation Center opened in 2025 as part of Auburn’s long-term Parks, Recreation, & Culture Master Plan. This brand-new facility features two full-sized basketball courts, an indoor walking track, fitness rooms, locker rooms, and multipurpose activity spaces. It also includes a heated, zero-entry pool and a lap pool, both designed for year-round use.

Outside the center, guests will find twelve covered and lighted pickleball courts, with plans to expand to eighteen in the near future, available for public play and tournament events. Additional amenities include a party room, conference space, and office areas. A second phase of development is underway and will add four lighted, synthetic turf fields for year-round, multi-sport use.

Lake Wilmore was designed with flexibility and community in mind, offering a variety of recreational options in one centralized location.
