Support a Recreational Center in Telluride!
Signing this petition shows your support in adding a proposed Recreational Center to the Town of Telluride's agenda, along with exploring the Pearl property as a potential site for the Recreational Center.
Why is this important?
Recreation Centers are oftentimes the heart and soul of a community. It is a huge priority for this community, our children and ultimately the health of our economy.
Many children from local working families do not have the opportunities to be in after school activities or summer camps every day, year-round. These children are often limited to the library, which is trying to adapt to this need, but is not an ideal solution, and their programming is tapped out. We are an active community and there are more healthy, stimulating alternatives that we are not providing our children - playing games on a computer is not serving our children.
Being a progressive community that cares about its children, it is an extreme disservice that we are not providing our community, our children and our visitors with year-round access to a public pool, a track, etc.
Recreation Centers serve as affordable and year-round places for people to exercise, for children to recreate and hone various sports and skills, and for family and friends to spend time together. They are also a valuable amenity to the region, as they provide residents a better quality of life, increase property values, attract tourists, and help to bring the community together.
Let's start the dialogue to get a Rec Center here in Telluride...we are one of the only resorts left in Colorado that doesn't have one and now is the time!
