Your input is needed - Wichita Public Rec Center Meetings Start Today!
Tonight is the kickoff of several open meetings which will help to determine which programs and services will be maintained in Wichita's public recreation facilities.
The Department of Park and Recreation is seeking feedback and public comment regarding future services in light of a one million dollar reduction to its recreation center budget.
All are encouraged to attend the meetings, which are listed below. The meetings will be held from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. today, Tuesday and Oct. 14. Childcare will be provided.
The meetings will provide background information on each recreation facility and roundtable discussions about which recreation center services should be offered. Topics will include classes, building usage, fees, facility hours and new services. Organizers include officials from Wichita State University’s Hugo Wall School of Urban and Public Affairs.
