Two Rivers Activity Center Serves Jamestown With Pools, Fitness, Youth Programs

Two Rivers Activity Center (TRAC) functions as Jamestown’s central recreation hub, operated by the Jamestown Parks & Recreation District and offering a range of facilities and programs that support local families, youth and active adults. With indoor aquatics, fitness equipment and classes, childcare and a preschool learning center, TRAC concentrates recreation and wellness services under one roof for Stutsman County residents.

The center’s indoor aquatics include slides, a lazy river, and dedicated lap and lesson pools that accommodate public swim, lessons and lane swimming. Fitness options span strength and cardio equipment plus group classes, while a walking track and multipurpose courts and turf field provide space for sports, training and informal exercise. Event and meeting spaces at TRAC host community programs and rentals, and seasonal outdoor amenities include Meidinger Splash Park with scheduled splash-park hours. TRAC’s public pages supply contact information, facility hours, program offerings, and both membership and drop-in options for flexible access.

For Jamestown, having a consolidated facility of this scale matters on several fronts. Concentrated youth programming and on-site childcare ease scheduling pressure for working parents and create local capacity for early learning and supervision during work hours. Youth sports, practices and tournaments held on the multipurpose turf and courts help sustain volunteer coaching, small-business activity in hospitality and concessions, and weekday economic activity when visitors use local services. The availability of group fitness and aquatics programming supports community health goals by increasing opportunities for exercise across age groups.

From a policy and budget perspective, TRAC represents a public investment in quality-of-life infrastructure managed by the Parks & Recreation District. Such facilities affect household decisions on where to live and work; they are tools for resident retention and modest local economic development. Operating choices—membership pricing, drop-in access, hours and program mixes—shape who benefits from the center and how much municipal subsidy is required to maintain services. The preschool and childcare functions also intersect with workforce policy by enabling parents to participate more fully in the local labor market.

Looking ahead, seasonal offerings like Meidinger Splash Park and year-round programming at TRAC position Jamestown to keep residents active and provide venues for community events. Residents can consult TRAC’s facility pages for current hours, program schedules, memberships and event listings. For families and households across Stutsman County, the center remains a practical piece of local infrastructure that supports day-to-day life, community connection and long-term health.
