New Rec Center
‘Central’ Rec Center focus of Sept. 15 meeting
■ Public will be asked to discuss preferences for either new Congress Park construction or buying a new site
BY RORY SEEBERThe Parks & Recreation Department will host a Sept.15 open house to “gather public input on site selection for a new recreation center in central Denver.” The meeting will be held in Mitchell Hall of Denver Botanic Gardens, 1005 York, 6-8 pm. The public will be asked to discuss preferences for either new construction surrounding the Congress Park pool, 9th & Josephine, or acquiring a new site
The November 2007 bond issue passed by voters included a total of $11 million earmarked for acquiring a site and designing a recreation center for the central city. The bond issue will not supply funds for the construction of a central rec center, only for its site and design. The area with a rec center “service gap” to be served by the new facility includes northeast City Council District 10, southeast District 8 and southwest District 5. District 10 is the only Council district in the city that doesn’t have any indoor city rec centers.
An “initial public conversation” on the rec center bond project was hosted in April 2008 by District 10 City Councilwoman Jeanne Robb. The approximately 50 attendees at that forum, which used a “Build-a-Center Workshop” charrette-style format, primarily developed suggestions for programs and facilities for the future center. Possible sites proposed at that gathering included: the vacant square block Gove Middle School property between 13th & 14th on the east side of Colorado Blvd. (the most favored location); the former University Hospital and Children’s Hospital campuses (Children’s is now earmarked as the future location of a new Exempla/St. Joseph hospital); Congress Park; the northeast quadrant of Cheesman Park; and the former Church in the City site near the northeast corner of Colfax & Josephine.

The park is one possible site for the future ‘Central Denver’ recreation center. The location of the future center will be the subject of a Sept. 15 public meeting to be held at 6 pm in Mitchell Hall of Denver Botanic Gardens, 1005 York. Call Parks & Rec at 720-913-0633 for information.
Picking a location that the city already owns, such as Congress Park, would eliminate the need to purchase property for the center and free up some funds. The majority opinion of participants in the earlier meeting favored a rec center with a multi-generational approach, a large fitness center, a multi-use pool and exercise room, and a two-court gym, among other amenities. For information on the September forum, contact Jill McGranahan of Parks & Rec at
720-913-0633 or jill.mcgranahan @denvergov.org.
They obviously need a skate park.

Does Anyone Want These Decks?? $40 and it's yours!
Zorlac sent me these decks do to a mutual mistake. They sent me reissue decks, when I wanted the retro decks. So take them off my hands for $40, before I send them back. I thought I'd post up here if someone was interested.
Send me an email if you're interested, they'll make a good cruiser, or beer getter board, OR you can be like Mike and Nick, and just shred with the thing.

Brighton today 09/01/2009
I heard some of you might be out at Brighton today.
What time do you all usually get there?
Even though my deck hasn't come yet I thought maybe I'd head out there with the camera and just hang out and snap some shots. Meet some of you guys.
Anyway, let me know what time you are usually there at and I'll try and make it out if I have the time.
