The South Park Parks and Recreation District Board of Directors will host a series of community meetings to gather residents' input on the potential expansion of the South Park Recreation Center in Fairplay.
Speaking Friday, SPPRD board president Angela Kanack said the current center, which sees visits from 1,500-2,200 community members every month, is in need of extensive upgrades.
Community question and answer sessions will be held at the Alma Town Hall on Feb. 13 at 6 p.m.; at the Fairplay Recreation Center on Feb. 15 at 6 p.m.; at the Jefferson Community Building on Feb. 27 at 6 p.m.; and at the Hartsel Community Center on March 1 at 6 p.m.
"This popular regional resource is over capacity," Kanack said. "Improving and sustaining our recreation center means more community options for family gatherings like weddings and receptions. Residents who need a gymnasium for winter activities won't have to wait for time at the high school gym, which is almost always booked with school-related activities.
