History
The building is named after Floyd Roberts  Jr. who served as Mankato's Parks Superintendent from 1981 to 2000. He had many achievements including:

  • development of more than 500 acres of park space;
  • improved accessibility in the parks;
  • landscaping development and construction of specialized gardens;
  • management and development of Mankato's Rasmussen Woods Park and Nature Center;
  • rebuilt Mankato's Sibley Park petting zoo;
  • expanded Mankato's tree planting program and diversification of trees;
  • managed a total upgrade of playground equipment so it is safe, accessible and provides challenging fun;
  • championed trail enhancement and connectivity;
  • and initiated the reconstruction of Mankato's Tourtellotte Pool.

The building was donated to the City of Mankato for use on a proposed golf course that was never constructed. Mankato's Public Works staff renovated the building and installed utilities. A user fee has been put in place to recover the operation and maintenance costs of the facility and to, in time, recover the renovation investment.
