The new Fieldhouse opens October 10 with a ribbon-cutting, community activities, and a wrestling exhibition. Programming will stay flexible — pickleball drop-ins, rentals, and a teen drop-in night October 30.
Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee — August 26, 2026
The private contractor running boat rentals at Copper Sky is pulling out because the service wasn't financially sustainable. The city won't take it over; staff will decide what to do with the dock.
