Parks and Recreation System Master Plan Update (2016) parks_and_recreation_system_master_plan_update_oct | Page 117

1995 Recommended Actions
1. The LMPRD should phase in development of six new community recreation centers over
the next 25 years. Additionally, improvements and additions to existing centers should
be considered in order to optimize their utility. It is important that adequate long-term
provision for the maintenance of new reaction centers is budgeted at the time of their
construction.
2. As a mid-term action, the LMPRD should consider construction of an indoor recreational
facility as part of a major new multi—sports center and community center. (See Section
B.3 for further discussion.)
3. The LMPRD should coordinate with other entities including JCPS to develop joint use
agreements for gymnasium use (including indoor basketball) and recreational
programming.
2016 Status
• LMPRD maintains 13 community
centers. All have gymnasia except
Beechmont. All offer recreation
programs.
• Two additional centers offer
programs primarily for seniors –
Wilderness Road and Flaget.
• In addition to the community
centers, the Metro Arts Center
houses arts and crafts programs. A
new center called Shawnee
Basketball at Cyril Allgeier Community Center
Cultural Arts Center has been
added to the inventory.
• LMPRD took over management of the Berrytown Community Center in early 2016 and it
will become the home of the Adaptive Inclusive Recreation Program. The YMCA
formerly operated this center.
• A number of private or quasi-public recreation centers were operated by organizations
such as the YMCA, Jewish Community Center, Boys and Girls Clubs, and other private
groups.
• See Figure A.10 in Appendix A for distribution.
Other Facilities
There are many recreational facilities for which standards are not generally applied,
generally because the nature of the activity does not lend itself readily to formulation of fixed
standards or is more specialized and is accommodated only where warranted by local demand.
Based on public input during the needs analysis, demands for a number of additional facilities
