Special prizes were do- nated by Carl's Drugs and Castlegar Drugs while a sur- prise Valentine cake was pre- sented by Da Costa Bakery.

Dire Flowers Anywhere” DAY — Castlegar - PETTITT PHOTOS Council has projected in 1996 a population in Castlegar of 16,056. ‘The following facilities are ith- in the boundaries of Electoral Area I and J and the City of Castlegar. The facilities are ones which would have similar fune- tions as to any development on the civic property: ’ Kinnaird Park, Kinsmen Park, Inland Gas Park, Stanley Humphries Senior Secondary, Pass Creek Park, five school fields, with three of the five fields located outside the City of Castlegar, and Selkirk College. . Present activities carried out at outdoor recreational facilities include: Softball, one of the fastest growing sports in the commu- nity—in only three years regis- trations have doubled. Minor baseball has reached a point where registrations vary little from year to year. However, due to the increased calibre of ball, teams find that they are continually hosting teams from outside the area. "Teams from Castlegar have represente? the area in regional, provincial and na- tional playdowns. Soccer in the area is proving to be very’ popular, which can be partially at- tributed to the high European population in the community. It has been suggested that this sport would further grow if additional facilities were avail- able: and if. a central well- groomed playing pitch existed. joftball,:, minor: baseball. ams? play} on: 11-7” tabi soecer..te: fields from Monday to Friday and on five fields on Saturday and Sunday. Of these 11 fields, eight are within the city limits and four are schoo! facilities. Tennis is rapidly expand- ing in Castlegar as it is in all communities in North America.

The one area which cay centre as the dressing rooms and the concessions would serve the of the “jar lacks isthe h playing fields. Due to Castlegar's long warm summers, the length of the outdoor recreation season may extend from April to October, This lengthened sea- son allows for maximum utiliza- tion of all playing ficlds. Even though there appears tobe a number of playing fields in Castlegar and vicinity, many of these existing fields are inadequate. for ‘the existing population and the demands placed on them, All sports bodies con- cerned with outdoor activities have a well-structured program. with a very high participation rate. With the maximum use of present facilities, there is no opportunity for expansion of programs in either participa- tion hours or outdoor users, It would also allow for easy booking and control of the facilities as the Recreation Offices are sched- uled to be housed in the sports complex. Mr. Metge has made the following recommendations: 1, A professionally quali- fied park or recreation planner should be contacted to design the layout of recreational us- age. 2. Recreational facilities should be built for future use as well as present needs, 8. All ‘recreational facili- ties built should compliment the services offered in community centre (ie. change rooms and concessions are available in the Community cae facilities Due tothe maximum use of that nee have priority are: least, the necessary goa! posts end backstops. 6. Parking facilities should “be so designed so that they do not take valuable recreation land away from recreational activities. Consideration should be given to a car parkade or additional land should be used for parking purposes. 7. An attractive buffer zone should be developed around the Perimeter of the property. In idee any devel- opment at the civic property the needs of the community should be the prime considera- tion. The development should provide a focus for’ major facilities and civic pride.
