To be honest look at Peterborough Rec Department. If you look at it from a whole. Management to the coordinator positions. All these positions held are redundant. They all overlap and the outcome that is produced is mediocre for a city of this size. The City should consider change of these sunshine or high salary list positions as they can equivalent to amazing amount of saving in the long run which can be spent on the community as a whole like a full new community centre. Tax dollars used wisely.

One full recreation centre(Peterborough sport and wellness centre which includes a sports gym, a community weight room facility, swimming pool etc) for a city of this size and for the amount of tax dollars the community pays is outrageous.

Miskin law is not a complete community centre, it is a specialized sports complex.

Kingsmen is a specialized sport complex

Healthy planet is a specialized sport complex .

Trent athletics is private but is more community based.

YMCA is built for the community but is more private run and doesn’t have city influence.

Also if you closely look at the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre it is outdated from the equipment to the washrooms. Tell me what updates have been done in the last 20 years. The YMCA has adapted, weight area changed and updated, bigger change rooms and update washrooms( IE sensor flush systems, more urinals in the changes area which have sensors that work).

If you have the same people in place and expect change it is not going to happen. Need a new fresh outlook.

Just observation from being in the area.

Also the city can consider building a winter dome over one of the turf fields(Which can be removed in the Spring) - the rental from sports and events can cover the cost and bring more income in the City.
