Hayden Center staff outline planned gym refinish, cameras and youth programming
Summary
Hayden Center staff reported 585 members, a gym refinish planned for May, in-house camera installation by Public Works to save money, updated lobby heating and program expansions including dance and a potential pottery co-op; a cold plunge was discussed as grant-dependent.
Hayden Center staff told the Parks and Recreation panel on Jan. 21 that the center currently has 585 members and outlined several facility and program items for 2026.
Staff said a gym refinish is planned for May and that decisions about new flooring will depend on availability of final funds. Public Works is installing cameras in-house, which staff described as a cost-saving measure. Staff also reported that the lobby heating 'curtain' is now installed and that lobby floor refinishing will not occur this year.
Programming updates included daily youth activities (examples listed as playing cards and board games), a spring dance session now open for enrollment and a possible pottery co-op under discussion. Staff characterized a cold plunge as a possibility if a grant is secured and said a pool remains a longer-term aspiration; neither item had funding or timelines specified in the minutes.
Fitness classes such as Tai Chi were said to be filling up and staff requested additional instructors to expand offerings.
