The Itasca Park District opened its doors to the Itasca Recreation Center! Prior to that, the building was known as the Walter Schmidt Building. It was home to two rooms and a garage. The majority of the Park District programs were held off-site within Itasca School District 10 and Lake Park High School buildings, local churches or other various locations. During the 1980’s, the Park District began to feel the squeeze for lack of needed programming space. In 1988, the Itasca Park District began 3 years of public input, planning and construction of the Itasca Recreation Center. The Itasca Recreation Center opened in November 1991. Approximately 30,000 sq ft was constructed; which included 1st floor preschool, dance/aerobics room, large community room, the gymnasium with track and designated gymnastic area, locker rooms and the “Itasca Fitness Center”. The 1991 Itasca Fitness Center was located directly adjacent off the track and was 730 sq ft! It had 8 Cybex pieces, 3 Randal 4000PT StairMasters, 2 Randal Windracer Bikes, 2 Schwinn Airdynes and offered Personal Fitness Assessments. over 1200 members. It offers IFit Orientations, Personal Training, Itasca Running Club, Indoor Cycling, Teen Fitness, Group Fitness classes including Zumba, Kickboxing, Yoga, Pilates and more!! The Fitness Center is home to 9 Precor Treadmills, 9 Total Body Ellipticals and 23 more diverse pieces of fitness equipment.
