Stow Parks & Recreation highlights growth, lists $1.2M capital priority and campground software switch
Parks and Recreation staff delivered their annual report and program updates, emphasizing increased participation and new offerings at the community/senior center. Staff reported last year's senior-center memberships at 748 and said 427 memberships were already on record for the current season.

The capital plan review identified a project designated at $1,200,000 for the year; staff also listed an approved restroom shelter at Oregon Trail Park for $150,000 and a planned replacement playground at Heather Hills for $130,000. Staff noted sports upgrades were pushed back and that facility HVAC and roof work were on the multi-year plan.

Staff gave an operational update on the campground: Cindy Kron introduced herself and outlined recent season finances, saying gross revenue for the campground season was $108,255 with net revenue of $100,304 after reservation fees paid to the third-party service (about $8,000). The department has decided to move from the current vendor Fireflies to Campspot; Campspot will be free to the city while campers will pay a convenience fee (cited as approximately $3 per reservation) plus credit-card processing fees. Staff said the Campspot training link was delivered and that bookings would open on Feb. 10 with camping season sales beginning April 10.

Marketing staff previewed a refreshed website and said they will populate an "active adults" calendar with senior-newsletter content. They also reported social-media reach and newsletter metrics used to tailor outreach.

No formal budget amendment or capital appropriation was adopted at the meeting; staff presented plans and asked the board for feedback and ongoing review as drafts are finalized.
