Recreation

In Your Own Backyard

The opportunity for a new recreational facility in our valley not only provides economic benefits to everyone but also compliments our image as a destination place for wine connoisseurs.

  • Enjoy every conceivable outdoor recreational activity; from boating to water or jet skiing, and swimming to fishing in Washington's best summer location.
  • The addition of tourism amenities like shopping and dining means additional choices
    for residents in the Yakima Valley
  • Live in an atmosphere targeted as a recreational destination.
  • Increase in tourism spending of $1.28 million will provide more job opportunities to
    our valley.
  • Becoming a vacation destination will increase area land and home values, which in turn
    will increase residential and commercial development.
  • The increase in land and real estate values and development of the resort destination
    will further enhance the draw to the wine consumer that is attracted to backdrops of
    vineyards and resorts.

Black Rock will compliment the Yakima Valley's efforts in becoming one of the most desired areas to live and vacation. The economic impact of this resort has no boundaries.
