Tell us about your thoughts on a potential indoor recreation space in Lisle! Your input is a key component to developing LPD's upcoming Indoor Recreation Space Feasibility Study.

Purpose

The Indoor Recreation Space Feasibility Study will guide the District in meeting the identified needs of the community and assist the Board of Park Commissioners and staff in planning the direction of the District’s current and future indoor recreation spaces. The feasibility study will seek to understand the indoor recreation space needs of residents and use the information to develop a plan.

• Objective Analysis – A project of this nature must be founded in an objective approach that demonstrates to all interested and affected parties that the outcome is based on good data, sound analysis, and valid assumptions. The highest standards of professional practice will be applied to this project.
• Market Focus – Careful consideration of the market position must be first and foremost; a broad focus with an emphasis on community input will identify opportunities in the marketplace. This market focus should consider the available resources of the area along with ongoing initiatives, including:

• Defining the market of potential users, market rates, level of capacity needed, identifying the amenities required to support users, and refining site requirements to enhance the user experience to make the facility succeed financially for the Lisle Park District.
• All marketing recommendations are strategically developed to support public needs and operational success.
• Financial Sustainability and Economic Viability – Exciting projects with visions of activity and vibrancy are great candidates for capital dollars, but inevitably, these projects must be operated and maintained, or their success will wane. The financial performance of the proposed facility should be able to responsibly generate revenue to sufficiently support operational expenses at a responsible ratio to other realistic forms of financial support available. This will support the facility and operating objectives desired by the project team.
