Loading...
Summary
A staff member said a facility converted one of four former racquetball courts into a weight room as interest in racquetball waned; staff noted an adjacent machine-weight area and a recent conversion to a golf simulator and said parks leadership is prioritizing adaptable amenities.
A staff member said the facilitysaid an oddly shaped weight room in the building was converted from one of four original racquetball courts after interest in racquetball "decreased significantly." The staff member added that the space is now used as a weight room rather than for its original racquetball purpose.
The speaker noted that next door to the weight room is a machine-weight area and that the facilitymost recent racquetball transition was the installation of a golf simulator, reflecting multiple adaptive reuses of underused courts.
The staff member said, "Well, and that's why, as director, Siverrud looks at our parks and recreation system, and we are adding amenities, we're trying to ensure that those spaces are a little bit easier to convert than rackable." That remark indicated a leadership emphasis on designing spaces to be adaptable so they can be repurposed when participation in a particular activity declines.
