Recreation Programs - Total Cumulative Participation
Analysis of Performance
Participation for the quarter was higher than the Q3 target, however the three quarters combined are shy of the total cumulative target. Factors affecting total participation include:
- Drop-in numbers slowed with the fee increase in daily drop-in rates at the first of the year.
- Riverside bridge replacement during Q1 caused inconvenience to customers trying to reach EPIC.
- Mulberry Pool was closed during most of May for emergency maintenance and repairs.
- Cold, wet weather and storm closures throughout the summer affected City Park Pool participation.
- EPIC experienced a 2 week complete shutdown in August for electrical maintenance.
- Northside Aztlan Community Center was affected by Willow Street construction and access.
Activity enrollments have increased, helping to compensate for the lower drop-in numbers. We anticipate a re-bound in drop-in numbers following the maintenance closures and once road construction projects are completed.
