City staff: gym and recreation renovations continue; private donor proposes soccer and pickleball complex
Summary
Recreation staff reported gym floors, hoops and concessions are being completed and programs restart in January; separately, a private donor has proposed donating and building a complex with about four soccer fields and 16–18 pickleball courts on a site currently zoned public facilities.
Recreation staff briefed the council on ongoing work at the community center and gym, and council members heard about a conceptual private donation to build a sports complex on city‑zoned public facilities.
Speaker 9 said gym work continued with flooring installation, courts nearing completion and concessions outfitted; staff expect more of the facility to be ready and programs to resume in January. He also noted bid openings for the pickleball court and municipal pool were recently held.
Separately, Speaker 1 described a potential large private donation: an individual who recently sold his company said he would like to donate land and construct four soccer fields and 16–18 pickleball courts with restrooms and parking near 3000 South and 1100 West. Speaker 1 said the location is already zoned public facilities and that the offer is conceptual; city staff and the prospective donor are working through contracts and property acquisition details.
Council members did not vote on the concept; staff said they would coordinate legal review and contracts if the donor proceeds and property ownership is secured.
