Summary

Staff reported more than 1,000 memberships at the recreation center, outlined program partnerships (Les Mills group fitness), new sensory-friendly playtimes, and a calendar of fall events that will require volunteers and operational support.

Parks staff reported that the recreation center has added 36 memberships since the last meeting and now exceeds 1,000 members (household memberships count as one). Staff reviewed membership categories, noted corporate and employer-purchased memberships, and said Renew Active remains the most-used program.

Staff described program developments: a Les Mills contract to expand group fitness offerings pending instructor certification (staff said one trainer completed the certification trial class), sensory-friendly playtime added in the indoor playground, and youth soccer underway but still short on referees. Staff asked commissioners for volunteer support at several community events, including a residential paper-shredding event and the Turkey Trot, and highlighted the upcoming Harvest Festival on Oct. 26.

No formal action was taken; staff said they will continue recruitment for referees and instructors and will circulate volunteer sign-ups.
