Included in the City's master plan in the late 1970s, the Performing Arts Center joined the Sports Center and Community Center as components of Spreckelsthe Rohnert Park Community Campus. The construction of this $10 million model Performing Arts Center was completed in 1990 and fully paid for through a bequest by Fred Rohnert, community development agency funds, annexation fees, a contribution from Pacific Gas & Electric, Co., Federal Revenue Sharing Funds and City funds.
