Comments and suggestions can be found in the <br />following summary. <br />Major Issues <br />✓ Need for gym space. Additional indoor gym space is necessary for both volleyball and basketball <br />programs. Currently, the lack of gym courts in good condition is limiting participation in these <br />programs. A large indoor space could also accommodate off-season soccer practice and free up gyms <br />for basketball and soccer. <br />✓ Need for large, irrigated, dedicated soccer fields. Majority of soccer fields currently are not irrigated <br />and do not maintain good playing condition. Overlap of soccer fields with other sports facilities <br />hinders the soccer programs. Year round demand for soccer pushes need for good indoor facilities. <br />✓ Need for regulation size football field within school district that is irrigated, lighted, and in good <br />playing condition. Currently, one game field is used and is inadequate both in size and condition. <br />✓ Lighting suggested for both tennis courts and softball fields to allow for extended hours of use, and to <br />attract more participation in programs. <br />✓ Need for large, regulation baseball/softball fields for practice and game time, preferably with several <br />fields at a site. Need for 75' and 90' base fields. Lighting at play field sites would increase <br />tournament play and practicelgame time. <br />✓ Need for improvement & expansion of indoor ice facilities. <br />✓ Lack of community swimming pool facility limits participation. Need competitive pool facility to meet <br />community needs. <br />✓ Need for more accessibility to play fields and bathrooms, drinking fountains, concessions. <br />Pv As: ,.Tss 1 <br />
