TO: Park Board Members
FROM: Bob Kojetin and Park and Recreation Staff
SUBJECT: Edina Golf Dome - Park and Recreation Operation
DATE: September 19, 1988
To look at the Park and Recreation Department totally operating the dome 12
months of the year, I would like to express some of the staff's report on the
outstanding benefits a facility like the dome can add to our park system as a
recreational facility for the people of Edina as well as a revenue generator for
the park system.
I would like to break the year up into different segments because of seasonal
and programming activities. It has been proven that the period from Christmas
to April 1 is by far the most lucrative time for generating funds from golf
driving range operation which was the initial activity that the dome was built
for.
Since the installation of artificial turf, the opportunity for operation 12
months of the year for other activities enters into this recommendation.
Currently we operate an adult soccer league from September to December.
Additional Activities:
A new program that could be started would be an adult volleyball program where
we could set up a minimum of five volleyball courts and run at the same time.
Another new program could be adult football. During the year we could rent the
facility for teen dances. There would possibly be about six during the year.
It could be rented out for art shows, flea markets, and special industrial shows
for private corporations which we have had many inquiries about. These could be
additional revenue generators.
Recreational Activities:
On the other side as a recreational facility for the community, we could expand
our girls' flag football program, boys' flag football program, and athletic
associations' tryouts for travelling team soccer and baseball in the spring.
These non -revenue generating type of activities could be a very big plus in our
overall recreational program for the community, and yet we can still satisfy and
generate revenue activities at the same time. This would be a tremendous
facility for our Park and Recreation Department to have totally under its
direction in its park system.
