Phase 1 of the BHP Billiton Red River Fitness & Natural Sciences Campus is COMPLETE. Phase 1 is a 70,000 square foot fitness and aquatic center ensuring people of all ages and backgrounds have access to state-of-the-art exercise equipment and group exercise studios. The gymnasium is home to youth and adult sports leagues such as basketball and indoor volleyball. An indoor family pool and a 50-meter competition pool promote year-around life-saving swim programs and serve as a home for area swimmers to host and compete in local, state and regional events. The Y continues to offer quality services and has expanded our offerings to include programs such as “Swim For Life” supporting drowning prevention effforts in our community. The BHP Billiton YMCA allows us to better serve our members and our community by increasing our capabilities and expanding our reach.
The fitness and aquatic center represents phase 1 of 3 phases that will comprise the 150-acre campus that will be a regional beacon for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Phase 2 is a Tournament Style Youth Baseball Complex that involves the purchase and upgrading of the existing Shreveport Little League Fields and Phase 3 is a Nature Education and Research Center that includes 100 acres of lake, marsh and wetlands that will showcase the natural wonders of our region.
Leave a personal legacy or honor a loved one, family, or company at the new Y. Permanent acknowledgments and naming opportunities are available from $100.00 to $750,000.00.
