Armory Usage/Programs• Pre-School• Alternative School• Roller Skating• Boxing• Indoor Soccer• Noon Hoops

HANDLEY RECREATION CENTER

PROBLEMThe Handley Center continues to struggle with

staffing, programming and building repair/maintenance. While there is good usage of several programs (weights, walking, pre-school, alternative school, gym), other areas have a definite lack of interest (outdoor programs, racquetball) or are too expensive to pursue (pool area usage, needed upgrades to both facilities)
