The Crookston Parks and Recreation Board met in the City Hall conference room on Monday.
WINTER ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION NUMBERS DOWN
The meeting began with updates on the winter recreation programs and the enrollment for each program. The board received updates on programs that have already started, such as youth hockey, figure skating, and wrestling, as well as other programs that will start shortly.
There are currently 327 participants in this year’s winter activities, which is down from 365 last year. “We did lose some seniors, so that affects our figure skating stuff,” said Administrative Assistant Andrea Prudhomme. “We are getting more (enrollment) with our basic class, which is nice, but the figure skating club themselves are trying to get. But overall, I think there has been a lower number of activities involved with the whole community and just the amount of kids that aren’t getting involved.”
The enrollment for each winter rec program includes-
Figure Skating – 98
Hockey – 83
Learn to Skate – 46
Mini Mites – 37
Wrestling – 24
Swimming lessons -19
Women’s Volleyball League – 9 teams
NEW HOCKEY SUPPLY VENDING MACHINE AT CSC
The board was also informed about the recently installed vending machine in the Crookston Sports Center (CSC). This Hockey Equipment Vending Machine dispenses equipment such as tape, hockey sticks, and other accessories. It also includes figure skating equipment. The machine is located upstairs in the event rink at the CSC.
THE POOL GETS SECURITY CAMERAS
Solberg notified the board about the new POS system and six new cameras being installed at the Crookston Community Pool. The cameras were installed because of reports that some employees felt unsafe while working their respective shifts. “This will make it easier for us to make sure that everything is accounted for,” said Prudhomme. “This is all online, and it’s what we use down at city hall. We’ll be training the workers within the next week or so, and hopefully, they can start using it right away.”
