Aquatics - outdoor community pool. Indoor tennis courts More ice rinks. Dryland and conditioning area. Indoor walking. Gathering activity room for up to 400 people. Move everything into 1 building. Make more rinks and give better locker rooms meaning passible varsity locker rooms. Better dryland facility for sports. Larger ice rink and more sheets. Indoor lacrosse as well. Make more hockey rinks, better locker rooms with showers Ice arena - additional sheets of ice, strength training and community rooms. Varsity, JV and figure skating only locker rooms. Make the facility a home base of many ER sorts. Add extra parking for handicap access and for specified groups. A multi-purpose facility that would include 3 or 4 regulation basketball floors w/a track would be great. The gym space is totally inadequate in the city of Elk River. I would like the ability to speak with this group formally, as ERGYBA has not been engaged to my knowledge, and organizations like TRSA and ERBYBA have been formally engaged. This feels like a hockey only exercise. Ed O'Donnel 612.644.889, Elk River Girls Youth Basketball Association - Secretary. I do like the idea of a multi-use facility from a few aspects. 1-multi generational interaction as well as 2 - leveraging one building to be primarily used by different groups at different times of day. Easy access from the central city is very important along with adequate parking for a safe environment. Do not duplicate what school and community education is already doing. Do not operate alone in your own. Indoor domed turf lacrosse, football, baseball all year round facility. More ice sheets with modern amenities and locker room space is a must for our growing hockey program, please! Need a facility with multiple uses for training multiple sports. Need locker rooms for the high school teams - (bigger rooms). Options for a bar and grill type restaurant in the building. Parents and families are always on the move with sports, we need options for meals. Outdoor winter domes with turf!!! Look at the amount of use by other cities with domes. It would pay for itself within a couple years due to it being booked. We live in cold and snowy climate. Grass oriented sports like baseball, football, lacrosse, soccer, softball and other activities could keep it full every day/month it is in use. We need domed turf in Elk River 4 ice rinks only helps 800 ERYHA players 167 Breakaway players doesn't sound like a community center to me. Lacrosse, baseball, softball, volleyball need an indoor space to help grow their programs. Give us a new multi-purpose facility for the young and old alike. Make a place where our kids can practice and play multi sports in one complex. Where parties and events for local organizations can be held as well. With a restaurant bar/grill. APPENDIX D
