Council approves resolution supporting fitness court at Hannah Park, contingent on fundraising
Summary
Lock Haven City Council approved Resolution 2025‑21 to support a National Fitness Campaign project at Hannah Park, committing $30,000 in local CDBG funds as a matching contribution contingent on successful local fundraising.
Lock Haven City Council voted to support Resolution 2025‑21, which endorses participation in the National Fitness Campaign to install a fitness court at Hannah Park, subject to local fundraising success.
City staff described the project as a two‑part facility: a permanent outdoor fitness circuit and an open studio area for group activities such as yoga. The National Fitness Campaign will provide grant support, and the city has $30,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds identified for the fitness court. The campaign partner was reported to be seeking an additional $175,000 from sponsorships; the city’s $30,000 match would be contingent on meeting the fundraising goal, the staff presentation said.
During debate a council member questioned whether the installation would be the best use of limited CDBG resources, suggesting the money might be better spent on playground equipment. That council member said they did not “feel this is something that would be used in our community to the max” and expressed concern about raising $175,000 through sponsorships. Other council members and the mayor voted to adopt the resolution.
The resolution was presented as contingent upon the National Fitness Campaign’s fundraising and the city’s ability to meet matching requirements only if local fundraising succeeds. The meeting record shows the motion carried; the transcript records affirmative roll call responses from multiple council members. No implementation deadline was stated in the meeting record.
