It is time to address the xpanded Hyde Creek
Centre, v6 Lons e has had discussions

t for the expansion on the indoor

rthan address one aspect of the facility it is

appropriate to take a Critical look at the total building for
expansion to accommodate our future population. Various concerns
have been expressed by staff and participants over the past few
years and these will be identified in this report.

I firmly believe that we are now in a critical Stage in regard
to the operation of the indoor pool. Unless we expand this _
facility in the very near future, we will experience a continued
drop in attendance during the public session. We anticipate that
we will be short by $3,500 in public admissions this year. Our
‘patrons are now going to either Maple Ridge, Chimo or Canada
Games Pool where they offer much more for the dollar value of
admission. The other facilities have hydropools, saunas, |
exercise rooms and teach pools. |

We are unable to accommodate a good tots learn-to-swim program
due to the fact that we do not have a teach pool. We would
definitely increase our registration revenue if we had such a
facility. Presently many of the persons who are unable to
register in our limited Parent. and tot program will go to either -
Coquitlam or New Westminster. : oe —_

There are several other factors that also need to be addrassed.
The roof has been leaking over the past several years and we may
wish to address this issue in a possible redesign. | :
