History of the Center
The Tecolote Recreation Center was built in 1968 on land that was one of the county's most popular motorcycle racing areas in the 1920s and 1930s. In the 1950s, the land was used as a dairy farm. The dairy owner deeded his 7.8 acres to the City to be used primarily for youth baseball activities.
