Jeff also noted that incremental expansions of facilities are common. Zach Bisek of BRS reviewed several future facility options with the members of the Parks and Recreation Commission, including: community spaces such as a café, a pro shop and a designated child watch area; a partner hospital/wellness center; a game room, an e-sports room and an indoor playground; various event facilities and classroom spaces; catering and commercial kitchens to support the event spaces; and a variety of recreation amenities, such as synthetic-turf fields and courts, indoor tracks, fitness and weight areas, spin studios, bouldering walls, aquatic centers, etc. After discussing and providing feedback on the various options, Jeff Smullen indicated to the Commission that the discussion would continue at the January meeting to further assess anticipated costs and potential phasing options.
