Some background
In 2024, as part of the city’s Facilities Master Plan, officials began exploring potential improvements to the recreation center. In early 2025, the department conducted a public survey for residents to provide input on what potential improvements to the facility they’d like to see.
The survey received over 250 responses, and based on its results, the cardio and weight room, and the racquetball courts were identified as priority areas for improvement.
Since then, recreation center staff have worked with architects, the Parks and Recreation Board and the city council to address the cardio and weight room first, while improvements to the racquetball courts are slated for further consideration in 2028.
