Resident proposes weekday horse activities at rodeo grounds for children with disabilities
Summary
A longtime resident, Timothy Goff, urged the commission to consider allowing use of the rodeo grounds on Wednesdays for activities (barrel racing, pole-bending, brushing) aimed at engaging children including those with disabilities; staff advised him to contact Parks & Recreation director Heath Bateman for next steps.
During public comment at the Dec. 9 Lindon planning meeting, resident Timothy Goff asked commissioners to allow weekday use of the city rodeo grounds for "Pascana" activities — described as barrel racing, pole bending, basic horse care and brushing — with a focus on making the activities accessible to handicapped children.
Goff identified himself as a longtime resident of Lindon now living in Orem and said he and his wife have experience with children who have disabilities. He requested staff guidance about the appropriate contact and logistics; staff directed him to Parks & Recreation director Heath Bateman and offered to provide Bateman’s contact information so he could pursue coordination through the city.
Commissioners and staff encouraged Goff to work through Parks & Recreation and thanked him for bringing the idea forward. No formal action was taken; the comment was recorded during the public-comment period and staff committed to passing along contact information for next steps.
