60th Anniversary Celebration

Our Founding VisionIn 1962, our very first visionary founding members established the recreation district. Prior to the Soledad-Mission Recreation District’s formation, recreation services for the community were provided through the school district. Recognizing the need for expansion as the community grew, the founding board members envisioned establishing a district that would provide quality recreation programming, inclusive of swimming. These visionary leaders included Ed Laughton, Alfred Bassetti, Al DeCarli, Frank Ledesma and John Domigues. Their dream came to fruition and in 1974, the first and only indoor pool in the Salinas Valley was built.

Today we celebrate 60 years of the District's inception. Join us to celebrate a day of fun.
