REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> Date: 7/20/2015 <br /> Item No.: <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Park Building Use Report <br />B <br />ACKGROUND <br />1 <br />2 <br />This park building use report is at the request of the City Council in order to provide an update on the <br />3 <br />first six months of use and operations of the six Roseville Park Buildings. <br />4 <br />In the first six months, these buildings have served as gathering spaces to celebrate birthdays, <br />5 <br />weddings, showers, retirements & going away parties, as well as, memorial services, business retreats, <br />6 <br />professional meetings, recreation programs & community information sessions. <br />7 <br />8 <br />The electronic door access system has allowed the foyer area of the buildings to be open during daytime <br />9 <br />hours for public use of the restrooms and drinking fountains. This has been a very popular feature in all <br />10 <br />park areas. By observation, overall use of the Park and Recreation system appears to be up as a result of <br />11 <br />the recent improvements. <br />12 <br />13 <br />Lexington Park opened to the community on December 16, 2014, Sandcastle opened the following day. <br />14 <br />Villa Park opened on January 28, Autumn Grove opened March 25, and Rosebrook and Oasis Parks <br />15 <br />opened April 22 & 23 respectively.
