RMD Community Sports Association is a not-for-profit organization committed to the development and improvement of youth active recreation. The founders of this association, Rob Nist, Mike Anderson, and Dave Smart, believe that we must preserve active youth exercise and development while striking a balance with the electronic world we find ourselves in today. In 2007 their pursuits toward this were recognized when they were asked to sit on the Ravensdale Park Design Committee by King County Parks representing the local baseball community’s interests for additional and improved ball fields. Out of this association with King County Parks the opportunity to establish a not-for-profit, indoor, active youth development facility inside the existing Gracie Hansen Community Center at Ravensdale Park was born. In November of 2007, RMD Community Sports Association dba “Rock Creek Sports” officially opened its doors offering a community center for the area youth around the active participation in baseball & fastpitch.
Rock Creek Sports is a not-for-profit entity with the dual purpose of providing a source of active sports participation for the community youth and providing a funding source for the development and improvements of active recreation facilities in our community. And so far it has been a huge success! More than 250 kids and families actively use the community center at least once per week. And through its success Rock Creek Sports was able to fund a substantial portion of the initial phases of the Ravensdale Park development.
