We will continue to maximize the demands and use <strong>of</strong> this park to preserve the quality <strong>of</strong> thefacility while <strong>of</strong>fering recreational opportunities for our residents.The <strong>Fruita</strong> Community Center is currently scheduled to open in January 2011. A lot <strong>of</strong> planning to design andconstruct the community center has and continues to occur. You can see those results when you drive by the<strong>Fruita</strong> Community Center site at 324 North Coulson. But design and construction is only part <strong>of</strong> the story.
