Indoor recreation took center stage at the Nibley City Council meeting on September 25, 2025, as officials discussed the findings of a recent feasibility study conducted by VCBO for Cache County. The study, which aims to assess the potential for indoor recreational facilities across the county, presented three distinct options for consideration.
The first option proposed that Cache County take full responsibility for indoor recreation. However, this approach was met with skepticism from council members, who expressed concerns about its viability and potential drawbacks. The second option suggested dividing the county into two separate special service recreation districts, with a dividing line along Highway 30 west of Logan and Highway 89 to the north. This would allow each district to operate independently, giving communities more localized control over their recreational services.
The third option would create three special service districts: one for Logan, one for the northern area, and one for the southern area, allowing for tailored services based on community needs. During the steering committee meeting, there was a clear preference against the first option, with indications that the county is unlikely to pursue it further.
As discussions continue, the council is weighing the implications of these options for Nibley and surrounding areas, with the goal of enhancing recreational opportunities for residents. The outcome of these deliberations could significantly shape the future of indoor recreation in Cache County.
