The MHA Parshall/Lucky Mound Northeast Segment Community Center is located on the Northeast side of Parshall, ND. The facility is designed to host a number of events and activities for community residents. This facility will also include offices for the Northeast Segment – Tribal Administration.

The facility contains a 17,000-square-foot indoor recreational pool and hot tub, which includes 5,400 square feet of water area surrounded with a 6,200-square-foot concrete deck. This portion of the facility also includes an air-conditioned party room, multi-user restrooms, family changing rooms and locker area, and a reception desk.

The remainder of the facility contains a 5,500-square-foot lobby area (Great Hall) between the 6,800-square-foot administration office wing and the 13,400-square-foot gymnasium/multi-purpose room for event overflow and circulation. The large multi-purpose room may be set up with tables and chairs for events of more than 500 community members. It may also be set up as a gymnasium and configured for spectators on retractable bleachers to watch a basketball game on a full-size high school basketball court, or be configured into two, full-size high school basketball courts for recreational play. Accessory spaces include a large multi-purpose gym storage area, which doubles as a safety shelter, two locker rooms, multi-user restrooms, a family room, and unisex single-user restrooms.

The second level contains a suspended indoor walking track and observation deck, which overlooks the gym floor below and a mezzanine area overlooking the Great Hall below. It also includes an additional party room overlooking the Indoor Pool below, a Theater Room, a Golf Simulator Room, and additional storage and mechanical rooms.

In addition, a 900-square-foot commercial kitchen is set up to serve daily meals to community members, as well as to the elders on-site. The 2,000-square-foot Elders space contains a residential kitchen area, lounge seating and TV areas, table/chair dining area, and a covered outdoor porch area looking across the landscaping.

The building will be very visible from the highway into Parshall and will be viewed as a gateway entry to the community.
