The Cove to close Wednesday evenings during off-season; FlowRider rentals and buyouts will remain available
Summary
Parks & Recreation Director Jason Peebles said The Cove will close to the general public on Wednesday evenings beginning Feb. 1 during the off-season; the town will still offer rentals, programming and FlowRider events on those nights.
Jason Peebles, Little Elm’s parks and recreation director, told the council the town will close The Cove to the general public on Wednesday evenings starting Feb. 1 during the off-season. The decision follows several years of attendance and revenue analysis, Peebles said, which showed Tuesdays and Wednesdays historically have been the slowest nights.
Peebles said the town previously closed on Tuesdays for staff training and maintenance. Because Wednesday attendance remained low despite marketing and promotions, staff will close the facility to the general public on off-season Wednesdays but will continue to permit buyouts, rentals and programmatic uses — including FlowRider rentals, pro programming and training for teenagers and adults — on those evenings. He said peak periods such as summer, spring break and winter break will still include Wednesday hours.
Ending: The change takes effect Feb. 1; staff said the shift is intended to increase rental opportunities and allow more focused programming and maintenance during the slow season.
