Facility Shutdown Schedule

Information on our 2019 Shutdown will be available in the late Summer of 2019. Please visit up again in July. 

The Green River Recreation Center’s Annual Shutdown will take place August 14^th through September 7^th. Updates will be made during this time. In addition to the below-listed items, the staff will be performing a deep cleaning of the facility.

Shutdown Events:

• The Gymnasium will be closed from Tuesday, August 14th through Friday, September 7th. The floors have been screened entirely to the wood one (1) time since being built in 1984. This process is recommended every 5-10 years and it has been 18 years since the floor was completely treated.  That means there are 34 coats of finish on the floor, causing patching, scratches, and the dull look to the floor. The floors are being screened all the way to the wood, lines will be repainted, two coats of finish will be applied to the floors, and finally set to dry.

Opening: The Gymnasium will be open Saturday, September 8^th.

• Racquetball Courts 2 and 3 will be closed from Tuesday, August 14th through Monday, August 27th. The floors are being screened to take away damage from hard usage; two coats of finish will be applied to the floors, and finally set to dry.

Opening: OPEN NOW!

• The Swimming Pool will be closed Friday, August 17th through Monday, August 27th. The pool’s vacuum sand filter tank is located in an enclosed pit in the pool filter room off the corner of the pool. The paint has come off the tank and the metal is rusting/degrading. If this continues to go untreated for the next 10 to 15 years, we are looking at replacing the entire tank and re-piping. There is limited space to work in that case and the expense would be around $200,000; not including inflation. With this one repainting of the tank, we can prolong the life of the current filter tank for up to 20 years; continued attempt to repaint could prolong the life of the tank indefinitely. While the pool is down the staff will: take advantage of sealing cracks in the bottom of the deep end, replace broken tile with new, grout many areas of the bottom of the pool that have been needing grouting for a few years now, buff the entire pool for a deep cleaning, and a new tuff coat will get laid on the tile to replace some of the pool deck mats.

Opening: OPEN NOW!

• Steam Room will be closed from Tuesday, August 21st through Friday, August 24th. The windows need replaced, the door frame is coming loose, the cement under the window is rotting away from all the moisture, and there is a collapsed drain. We will be replacing the whole door area and repairing the drain.

Opening: OPEN NOW!

• Nursery will be closed from Monday, August 20th through Friday, August 31st. The nursery has become the base of operations for computers and offices until the carpet has been replaced in the office area behind the front desk.
