Commission approves limited Sunday open-gym hours at Fairfield and Holloway
Summary
The Parks & Recreation Commission voted to offer open gym from 2–6 p.m. on the first and third Sunday of each month at Fairfield and Holloway Gyms (excluding holiday weekends), effective June 1, 2026; staff will present the proposal to City Council.
The Kinston/Lenoir County Parks & Recreation Commission approved a motion March 12 to offer Sunday open-gym hours at two city facilities.
Following discussion about weekend facility reservations and lower Sunday usage, the commission voted unanimously to open Fairfield and Holloway Gyms from 2–6 p.m. on the first and third Sunday of each month, beginning June 1, 2026, and excluding holiday weekends.
Scott Alston, who raised the scheduling proposal citing lower Sunday reservations, said Sunday afternoon hours would provide community access while preserving most weekend reservation revenue. Alston said he will present the plan to the City Council at its next meeting for coordination.
The motion was moved and seconded in open session and recorded as passing unanimously in the minutes.
