The Rogue Credit Union Community Complex (Rogue X) has been serving the community for a year! Since its grand opening on January 6, 2024, this state-of-the-art aquatics and events center has become a hub for recreation, events, and connections in Medford. Owned, maintained, and managed by the City of Medford, Rogue X continues to enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
 
A Year of Achievements
In its first year, Rogue X has welcomed:
  • 106,442 Open Swim visitors
  • 18,271 drop-in sports participants
These milestones highlight the facility’s success in providing accessible, high-quality amenities for all.
 
To celebrate its first anniversary, Rogue X will host a birthday party event on Saturday, January 11, from 5 to 7 PM. This event is open to all, with standard admission prices applying.
 
About Rogue X
Rogue X offers a wide range of amenities, including:
  • A 76,000-square-foot multi-purpose event center
  • An indoor recreation pool with two water slides
  • A 13-lane indoor competition pool
  • Classrooms and meeting spaces
  • An outdoor seasonal splashpad
  • A food truck pod
The facility includes 300 parking spaces immediately adjacent to the building, with an additional 530 spaces in the surrounding area.
 
Situated within Howard Memorial Sports Park, a 54-acre community park in west Medford along Rossanley Drive and Ross Lane, Rogue X anchors a broader vision for the park. When complete, the park will feature multiple sports fields and a playground.
 
From Vision to Reality
The concept of combining an event center and aquatics facility under one roof received City Council approval in 2018. Financing was approved in 2020, and construction began in 2022. Rogue X officially opened its doors to the public in January 2024, marking a significant milestone for the community.
 
Rogue Credit Union contributed to this vision through a 10-year, $2.145 million naming-rights agreement. This partnership not only helps offset operational costs but also supports vital community programs, including water safety classes for all fourth-grade students in the Medford School District.
 
Supporting the Community
In addition to its recreational offerings, Rogue X is proud to provide initiatives like the Play Everyday Scholarship Fund. This program ensures that Medford youth have access to swim lessons and recreation opportunities, fostering active lifestyles and lifelong skills.
