RECREATION CENTER PANDORA BAHLMAN

The Incline Village Recreation Center is the heart of the community. Besides housing a full-service fitness center with a variety of cardiovascular equipment, a strength area, a full-size gymnasium, and 25-yard indoor pool, it is home to Parks & Recreation Department programming staff, District services at the Recreation Counter, and community events.

The Recreation Center will be 30 years old in November 2022, and we have been busy restoring, repairing and maintaining its infrastructure, as well as striving to return to pre-pandemic operational normalcy.

Major 2021-2022 goals of the Recreation Center were to: • Recover customer base and revenue to 80% of pre-pandemic levels. • Remove pandemic restrictions. • Increase hours of operation by increasing fees. • Complete the upstairs restroom remodel project; and work on the locker room renovation project (which finished in fall 2022). • Resume child care services for Rec Center members. • Resume coffee service, included in the membership. • Restore and repair the gymnasium floor from outdoor water leak. (See the photo on this page.) • Repair the aging portion of the pool pump system. • Repair boilers, after an aging pipe burst. • Host indoor pickleball inside the Recreation Center gymnasium as a member service during the winter months. • Restore Totally Active program hours and clarify this service. • Find innovative ways to recover workforce despite the ongoing workforce housing crisis and wage wars in the Incline Village/

Crystal Bay region. The Recreation Center continues to make great strides by accomplishing most of its goals; however, we still struggle with incomplete staffing, closures due to staff shortages, repercussions of deferred maintenance of a 30-year-old building, and 2021’s summer battle with prolonged poor air quality.

The Recreation Center has not had a formal survey to measure community impact, but increased memberships and revenue indicate the approval of the facility and services. Last year, users made these anecdotal comments:

“Hard to improve; we love the Recreation Center.”

“The Rec Center is maintained very well. The facilities are top notch.”

We thank our customers for their support through participation, and endeavor to survey them in the year 2022-2023.

I am very proud of the entire IVGID staff’s perseverance, and the patience and support of our community users during these years of turmoil. We are resilient. Together we will survive and thrive. PandoraBahlman
