"Don't
forget about babysitting! And what about "kid's programs" (crafts,
sports, etc. for the older kids (3yrs+) who wouldn't want to be in
"baby-sitting! swim lessons - red cross" |

"Lets
get started! We need to keep our kids close to our homes...this would
really help! (Add a meeting room/conference room for rent.)" |

"I
DO NOT WANT MY HOMEOWNERS DUES INCREASED IN ORDER TO PAY FOR A REC.
CENTER. THOSE WHO WISH TO USE THIS FACILITY SHOULD SHOULDER TO COST
THROUGH FEES OR MEMBERSHIPS. I WILL WITHHOLD PAYMENT OF ANY INCREASE
IN CPN HOA DUES IF ASSESSED FOR A REC. CENTER." |

"What
a great idea! We currently drive to Castle Rock Rec Center for swimming
for our 2 kids, Pottery lab, weight training and roller hockey (near
Walmart). It would be great to ride bikes to our OWN local Rec center.
I would not mind paying extra yearly dues and "a la carte" for a menu
of services. Please build before some "strip mall" goes in there." |

"We're
in favor of the rec center, but feel it should be paid for primarily
by those who use it, not by a large increase in hoa dues." |

'bout corporate sponsorhip to offset costs? - "Invesco Rec Center
@ CPN". |

"I
would LOVE to have a convenient rec center that all family members
could enjoy. Maybe even including classes and off-track programs for
the kids. My only concern is that, if we're going to go to all the
trouble and expense of building this, we need to do it WELL. For instance,
the 'new' Parker RC on Lincoln seemed pretty user-unfriendly to me
the only time I went there to check it out. I like the Castle Rock
RC in general, but their weight machines are a joke -- not much there
and what is there is often broken -- and no good place to stretch,
which I feel is a pretty basic requirement for a real rec center.
So, PLEASE, make it a truly useful and fun place or don't bother at
all. Oh, and lots of windows would be nice!" |

definitely need a recreation center in our community. I'm sick of
driving 15 minutes to Inverness or Castle Rock to get a work out." |

"This
would be SUCH a great thing to have. We're SOOOOO far from any real
town, that it would be great to have our OWN meeting/exercise/classes
location! please do it!" |

"I
am really looking forward to a rec center. The neighborhood kids would
really use the roller hockey court, in line skating area and climbing
wall! A pool is a big want item too!" |

"Whether
we should build one really depends on how much it would cost the homeowners
in taxes, fees, dues and whether the cost would be justified. So,
it would help answer your questions if potential cost information
could be provided." |
|
|
|
|
(As we understand it, part of being unable to fix a general budget
or attach costs is to not fully know the scope of what the community
would like to see a facility contain - which is why the question asks
for a consensus of general interest in a varitety of amenities.) |

"Would
like a community center but am NOT willing to pay more than 300 a
year for a FAMILY membership. Would like the center to be only available
to CPN residents." |

"Ever
since Colorado Athletic Club and Inverness removed most of their racquetball
courts, there is really no (upscale) facility to play racquetball
in Douglas County, except the Highlands Ranch Rec Center which Castle
Rock Residents can't get into. Also, many of the DTC athletic clubs
have taken out their courts. We could really use an upscale club with
6-10 racquetball courts." |

"I
think it would be a great asset to have an indoor swimming pool. I
know that currently the Castle Rock Cuda swim team is looking for
a new home and could help bring in a new revenue stream to a rec center.
They currently use the Castle Rock Rec center but are quickly growing
and need more room. Just a thought." |

"We
really need a rec center. It needs to be big enough so that kid's
sports programs could be run out of it. There should be a red light
installed at Castle Pines Pkwy & Yorkshire so that kids can cross
Castle Pines Pkwy." |

"Where
will it be? I think open area at Monarch and CP Parkway would be great
- already high traffic area with light going in so it won't disrupt
other areas." |

live in a neighborhood that does not have any facilities - the community
has always lacked for indoor recreational facilities; and besides
that, it would help the area's value." |

"On
what planet would I be pleased to see monies placed toward competing
with area commercial recreation/athletic facilities. Needing to have
everything within a whisper of us is how we got all this stuff building
on top of itself in the first place. I moved out here to get away
from all that upscale urban blight. Am I the only one who thinks all
of this is nuts??" |
