Board approves $26.7 million budget for Legacy Arena parking deck, plans for 887-deck spaces
Summary
The board approved a $26,695,604 budget for a five-level Legacy Arena parking deck that district staff said will provide 887 deck spaces and roughly 2,068 total event parking when combined with shared spaces at Hunter Park; district staff expects to break ground in December with completion of all five levels by September 2026.
MADAM CHAIR — The Douglas County School System board approved funding on Sept. 15 for a five-level parking deck to support the Legacy Arena, with a budget presented at $26,695,604.
Capacity and partners: Assistant Superintendent Chris Small said the parking deck will have 887 spaces; combined with arena surface parking the arena would have about 1,318 spaces, and shared parking that includes Hunter Park would bring total event parking to approximately 2,068 spaces.
Timing: Small said the district has partnered with a contractor called Raylan and plans to break ground in December, aiming for full completion of all five levels in September 2026. He noted contingency plans — partial first-level availability or off-site parking — if site rock or weather delay initial work.
Board action: The board moved and approved the parking-deck budget; the chair announced the item was favorable.
Implication: District leaders said the deck would reduce dependence on shared city parking for major events and improve access for seniors and other event attendees.
