Luring more than 750,000 vacationers, residents and guests through its doors since its opening in 2012, SHARC visitors report being rejuvenated by the brilliant range of activities and amenities the $18 million facility offers to all ages and interests.
The vast majority of SHARC visitors come in the warm summer months to frolic in the oversize outdoor pool, drift in the lazy river, plunge down the tube and body slides, dance in the water fountains, sunbathe on the massive pool deck and lawn and watch toddlers safely play in a separate wading pool and sand play area.
Thousands of people screamed their way down the tubing hill, scrambled around the playground, shot hoops on the full size basketball court, tested their skills on the bocce ball court and picnicked in the park.
Even when the weather turns cold, SHARC’s indoor, multi-use pool continues to attract people. The pool’s zero entry beach with bubbling fountains, spinning water flower and dumping bucket entertain youngsters and the young at heart. School age children make themselves dizzy floating around in circles in the vortex water feature. Three adjacent lap lanes provide space for workouts, swim lessons, aquatic fitnessclasses and water volleyball.
Aside from aquatics, SHARC’s 5,000-square foot Benham Hall hosts business meetings, weddings, banquets, public hearings, seminars, events and fundraisers.
Access to SHARC is free to Sunriver property owners with a current homeowner ID, those with SROA recreation passes and guests of rental properties enrolled in SROA’s Recreation Plus program. The general public is welcome via a daily gate fee.
