History
Irving Recreation Center was the first common facility built in cooperation with the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department and the Lincoln Public Schools. It was originally proposed in 1971 and 1972 when the school district was planning to build a new gymnasium at Irving Junior High. The recreation center was completed and opened to the public on March 28, 1977.

The common facility model allows each agency to save money by sharing costs and space, and in turn, provide affordable opportunities for citizens. It also strengthens the network of support available to children, youth, and families in the community through the coordinated efforts of Irving Recreation Center and Irving Middle School.
