<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Community Engagement Questionnaire Comments <br /> <br />Question: What are some opportunities to expand the current mission of the Parks and <br />Recreation indoor facilities? <br /> <br /> Further areas of opportunity for youth hockey <br /> <br /> We love living in Elk River - would love to see a new facility for our community and for seniors to the <br />younger age kids. We know it will be well deserve and used by all so let's make Elk River proud <br />community. Please make sure we have elevators in the facility and things are handicapped accessible for <br />everyone. <br /> <br /> Indoor walking path <br /> <br /> Indoor walking path <br /> <br /> The biggest issue for our family is that we do not have a family community center, similar to what both <br />Monticello and Maple Grove offer. The Y is prohibitive both in cost and demonstrated interest in serving <br />as a community hub. We'd like to see the city offer a combined facility - gym, aquatic, ice, fitness, senior <br />- that better meets the needs of all community members rather than specific segments <br /> <br /> The current ice rink is old and outdated. We are traveling to other cities to find ice time during winter <br />season. My family also participates in summer hockey in other cities better facilities. Other towns have <br />modern ice sheets, host tournaments, and have a gathering spot for athletics. I spend a lot of money <br />doing hockey and lacrosse activities, and would rather spend money in the town I live in. Children need <br />a place to grow memories and train to best represent the town of Elk River. <br /> <br /> *"Free money" - No free lunches! *Do appreciate activities currently provided, but question expansion <br />based on additional tax revenue. *Expansion opportunities, if there, would be provided by private <br />businesses. *Need vs. wants. Thank you! <br /> <br /> These facilities need to be close to the inter city for elder persons to have good access to them. <br /> <br /> More parking need for outside bus trips. Upgrade current facilities and provide a place other than <br />activity center for out-of-town bus trips. <br /> <br /> Gym space. The ISD 728 facilities do not meet the demand for space and time <br /> <br /> Find a suitable location and build a facility that can accommodate all activities in one building. <br /> <br />JLG 15170 Elk River Community Center Feasibility Study <br />RE: Community Engagement Questionnaire Comments <br />July 12, 2016 <br /> <br />APPENDIX D <br />APPENDIX D
