Community Facilities Study
The City of Minnetonka offers a vibrant array of indoor recreation facilities to meet our community's needs. However, as needs evolve, the city's recreation facilities face challenges as they age related to operations, programming and physical infrastructure.
With the purchase of The Marsh in February 2023, the city commissioned a facilities study to create a road map for the future of indoor recreation. The community facilities study will analyze current uses and explore future opportunities of four city recreation facilities:
It will look at how the facilities serve community needs, as well as facility improvements and revenue-generating opportunities. The project, led by HGA consultants, will include multiple opportunities for community engagement over the coming months.
The final study will be a guiding document to determine potential future investments in our recreational facilities with a wide variety of potential options for the four facilities studied. Acceptance of the study does not approve future projects but helps staff prioritize what projects to advance and pursue funding for in the future.

Sign / rule to not squat on exercise equipment
I am at Williston. People think it is OK to sit on a machine for 10 or 15 minutes. Yes, they do some reps but then they are on their phone listening to music, texting, surfing the web. I have seen people even making calls while sitting on a machine. I have even seen people sit on a machine for a long time and not use it. I am tired of asking people to move. And my children, as with most people, simply do not have the courage to ask someone to move. Given that for most exercises there is only one machine it can be impossible to finish a simple workout. Please put up a sign stating that if you have finished your "set" to kindly not sit on the machine until you decide to exercise again. "Please do not sit on a machine between sets"

Please convert the therapy pool to saltwater. It is much more therapeutic, less costly and less upkeep. Olympic Pools can do the conversion.

For years the hot tub was all ages - the change is bad for those of us who properly manage our children. Open up again
Hot tub should be all ages - open up to all with a "calm community space" message

Golf Simulators
The cost of golf simulators has dropped while the technology has become very good. It would be nice to have a few bays in Minnetonka. Other health clubs have added them in recent years. Simulators are a great addition as MN winters are long and people would like to keep their swing. They are great for instruction, too as the computer gives detailed feedback. A huge amount of resources are dedicated to tennis but nothing to golf. Minnesota has the most golfers per capita. More than tennis.

Offer more yoga at the Marsh. The studios are the best in the Cities. Only need is to bring back consistent microphone so all can hear.
