City Celebrates Grand Opening of Rogue Credit Union Community Complex

Published on January 09, 2024

On Saturday, January 6, the City of Medford celebrated the grand opening of the Rogue Credit Union Community Complex (Rogue X). 

The festivities kicked off with a ribbon cutting ceremony in front of the facility's main entrance. 

"Today's grand opening marks a new era for the City and for the Parks and Recreation Department," said Parks, Recreation and Facilities Director Rich Rosenthal. "Let's celebrate this great achievement and continue to help discover what's possible for decades to come." 

"Rogue X is a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation and community spirit," said Mayor Randy Sparacino. 

The ceremony was followed by the First Splash event, which was a unique opportunity that allowed ticket holders first use of the new aquatic and event center space for two hours.

Proceeds from the first splash event went to the Play Everyday Scholarship Fund, helping provide swim and recreation scholarships for the youth of Medford.

Background: Rogue X is a $76 million, 140,000-square foot recreation facility owned, maintained and managed by the City of Medford. The Rogue X contains a 76,000-square foot multi-purpose event center, an indoor recreation pool featuring two water slides, a 13-lane indoor competition pool, classrooms, an outdoor seasonal splashpad, and a food truck pod. There are 300 parking spaces immediately adjacent to the building and 530 in the immediate area.

Rogue X is situated in the heart of Howard Memorial Sports Park, a 54-acre community park in west Medford along Rossanley Drive and Ross Lane. When complete, the park will contain multiple sports fields and a playground.
