• Provide low to no cost options. <br />• Work with partners to provide affordable access to activities like indoor <br />aquatics or open gym. <br />4. Improve indoor facilities to hold programs. <br />Strategies: <br />• Conduct a Comprehensive Recreation Facilities Study to evaluate the <br />Activity Center (55 +), the Arena, Lions Park Center, and the Trott Brook <br />Barn to determine if they should be renovated, replaced on their current site, <br />or consolidated into a centrally- located facility. <br />► Consider development of shared Activity Center (55 +)/ community <br />center in a shared building. <br />► If Lions Park Center is not replaced with a new facility (either in the <br />same or another central location), renovate the building. <br />• Improve partnership with the Y to better meet city recreation program <br />needs. Specifically: <br />► Negotiate for additional swimming passes for Elk River residents. <br />► Additional storage. <br />► Expanded hours for city use. <br />► Stronger city identity. <br />► Providing a mechanism for cost recovery when providing city programs <br />at the Y. <br />• Continue to partner with Community Education indoor programming <br />locations. <br />• When renovating or creating new indoor program locations, create flexible, <br />adaptable, multi -use spaces and changeable components to adapt with needs <br />and interests. <br />• Develop spaces that can function for events such as conferences, weddings, <br />receptions, parties, trade shows, and other larger gatherings. <br />5. Host community events that facilitate community interaction and foster <br />community pride and identity. <br />Strategies: <br />• Evolve the Riverfront Concert Series at Rivers Edge Commons to a higher <br />profile community event that becomes a greater economic benefit. <br />• Continue to support hosting regional and statewide events such as the 2014 <br />Hockey Day Minnesota, in partnership with the school district, and the <br />Northwest Suburban Conference Cross Country Running Championships <br />at the golf course. <br />• Support family events such as Spooktacular at Halloween and the 4th of July <br />celebration. <br />.. ...................................................... ............................... <br />65 City of Elk River - Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />
