The overall gross square footage of the existing facility is <br />approximately 40,000+ sf with a footprint of approximately 32,000 square feet. The YMCA does <br />have all of the key facility and amenity spaces to support a community Recreation Center. The <br />YMCA has been very well maintained and the high level analysis of any maintenance issues or <br />needs did not turn up any significant repair or replacement needs that would add cost to re-opening. <br />The inspection also did not turn up any significant capital maintenance or replacement needs <br />projected for the next five to eight years. <br /> <br />Key Recreation Center features include the following: <br /> <br />Aquatics <br /> Lap/Program Pool: Total square feet = 2,966 sf <br />o 6 x 25 yard lap lanes of 6’ width <br /> Narrow for all but young team swimmers or 2-3 lap lanes <br />o Depth: 3’6: to 5’ <br /> Suitable for community programming <br />o Temperature: 83-84° F <br /> Suitable for wide range of community programming <br /> Warm for any high intensity training <br />o Programming Capabilities <br /> Lap lanes for low to mid-intensity fitness swimming <br /> Ideally suited for the youngest age groups on competitive swim teams <br />(potential for outside user groups) <br /> Swim lessons: Older more advance lesson groups <br /> Good depth and temperature for aquatic and senior fitness programs <br /> Family friendly recreation and aquatic lifestyle activities <br /> Special needs and adaptive PE programming <br /> <br />Lap Pool <br /> <br />
