MRD News:
This Rec. Center is Your Rec. Center
After more than three decades of discussion and debate, Montrose's Community Rec. Center has become a reality. The earliest document related to the Recreation Center that I found in the MRD files says 'Montrose Community Center Committee' at the top. It has several names that we still regularly see in the Montrose Daily Press today. It is dated 1979.
Although my time here has only been 6 years, I've learned that Montrose can be skeptical of public initiatives, especially those involving precious tax dollars. What this has translated to for me is that the community has high expectations. There is no rubber stamping here or blind support of feel good community things like Rec. Centers. Public agencies need to be efficient, effective and innovative. Plans presented need to be strong, fiscally sound and followed by accountability when they are built. We have also learned tremendously from other agencies. For example, the Library was built without financing and tax dollars did not go towards interest. The school bond that passed many years back was leveraged tremendously to build a lot more than was initially promised. We hope for similar success.
I realize that skepticism was very strong with the Community Rec. Center project. It took over three decades of effort to craft a plan that was acceptable. Many still harbor negative feelings about the project; some have said they have no use for the facility and their blood pressure rises when driving by it on Woodgate Road. If this describes you, I am sorry for your frustration. However, I want you to know that your skepticism forced the CRC plan to be as strong as possible. It helped the project be success.
After many years of hard work by so many, it is here. Your new CRC is located at 16350 Woodgate, behind Walmart. The tours are open to anyone and everyone from 8am to 7pm, Monday through Friday. Our Customer Service Representative desk is open this entire time to complete all MRD program and pass registration.
Many want to know about the plans for the old Aquatic Center by the high school. The old pool and front desk are now closed. Our construction crews began renovating the current facility into an indoor turf Field House to be used for any sport you can play on a field; see below for more information.
Our facilities are all about maximizing use and service for our community. Towards that end, for the CRC, Youth and Senior (55+) residents pay $17/month. Adult residents pay $30/month. Complete CRC info. is available at on pages 7-18 of this activity guide and at www.montroserec.com or by calling 249.7705. Please come check out your Rec. Center. It belongs to you and the whole community.
