This would be--should be--a fantastic community resource--were it not so expensive for the taxpayers to use. As of this review (11/2018) a day pass for the SLC Sports Complex is $7. Really? $7? To use a facility that was bought and paid for by our tax money to begin with? Really? When I first started going to this facility the cost was MUCH lower... like $1... or $2. Clearly the junta that runs this complex never took Econ 101 or they'd understand price elasticity. The whole point of these community centers is to encourage and promote the heath and fitness of the citizens. And the more you charge, the less likely--and less often they are to use it. These community centers--ALL of them--should be absolutely free. And this could easily be achieved with just a few changes to how they are conceived from the beginning--and how they are managed over time. This particular facility is lousy with staff--most of them superfluous. Every staff member = not just more wages--but more benefits--both short and long term; health insurance, vacation, sick pay--retirement. Cut back on staff and you dramatically cut back on the cost to operate. Next, allow 3rd party vendors to use the facilities--for a fee. (For example, allow personal trainers to train their clients @ the facility--at certain times--for a monthly fee; swim coaches; massage therapists; ice skating coaches; etc.) Next, design in and lease out cafe / coffee shop spaces @ each facility--either inside or outside--or both. These could be required to be health-oriented... juice / smoothie / vegan / etc--or at least have a certain percentage of these options on the menu. These space should be up for bid every few years and would provide millions in revenue over the life of the facility--not to mention increasing overall user satisfaction. Another idea to reduce staff (and thus costs) is to develop a system / network of VOLUNTEERS from the communities they serve; there are PLENTY of bodies available for a few hrs a day per week to handle many of the more mundane tasks. Also, out-sourcing most or all of the staff (maintenance, cleaning, etc) could also cut long term costs dramatically.
