The City of Ames is exploring a potential indoor recreation facility that would allow year-round activities. This facility may include courts for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball, but may also include exercise equipment, artificial turf, an indoor playground, batting cages, and/or multipurpose space.
There are several opportunities planned to gather public feedback about this concept to allow residents to ask questions, share concerns, and indicate expectations.
Public input sessions

Residents are encouraged to complete a short survey to share their priorities and help inform the planning process. The survey closes at 10 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9.

After preliminary information gathering has wrapped up, the data will be presented to the Park and Recreation Commission for input. All public feedback would be aggregated into a report for consideration by the Ames City Council in November. If desired, the City Council would provide direction to Ames Parks and Recreation staff to hire a consultant.
