But Papillion voters will decide whether to advance the project, which features an indoor pool, a lazy river, gymnasiums, outdoor fields, a youth center and a senior citizens center.

The May 10 ballot includes a proposal to raise the city’s sales tax to fund a bond measure to pay for the center. The City of Papillion wants to build at the Papillion Recreation Department’s current office at 1100 W. Lincoln St.

The city is also building an 80,000-square-foot field house and a lighted, synthetic turf soccer/football/lacrosse field at the site, which is included in the $48 million cost.

Papillion Landing it is.

The $48 million project on West Lincoln Street is expected to be fully completed in the fall of 2019. The field house portion will be finished this fall, with the community center building completed a year later.

Monday marks the opening of Papillion Landing, the city’s new community recreation center. Take a stroll around the 120,000-square-foot facility, and it becomes clear: This isn’t your drab, musty recreation center of the past.
