PROGRAM / CLASS VIEWING
To assist our instructors in providing an optimum learning experience for your child, we ask that you refrain from entering the teaching area. This helps eliminate distractions for both the instructor and student. Space permitting, parents may be invited to view their children's progress at specified times. Seating areas are available while your child is in a program/class. Your understanding is appreciated.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISK
We want the registrants in our programs to be aware that when they participate in certain activities, there is a natural element of risk of injury which each participant must assume. As a loss prevention measure and risk management standard, participants are required to sign an Acknowledgment of Risk form for certain classes and activities. If a participant is under 18 years of age, the signature of a parent or legal guardian is necessary. It is recommended that participants in program/classes involving strenuous activity consult with their physician prior to the start of their program/class.
PHOTO RELEASE
Photographs, digital images, or videotape of program participants and spectators taken by department representatives may be used for future promotional or marketing material. Cameras, cell phones or any other devices capable of taking still and/or video pictures are prohibited from being used in the Kirksey Recreation Center locker rooms, family changing room or restrooms. Thank you for your cooperation.
AGE VERIFICATION
For most program/classes, age requirements will be as of the date of the first class, unless noted. Age requirements are established for the benefit of the student and instructor as well as for safety. Please verify that your child is within the specified guidelines.
KIRKSEY RECREATION CENTER reOPENed Sept. 9!
Executive Order 2020-176 allowed indoor Fitness Centers, Indoor Pools and gymnasiums to open on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2020.
We are excited to welcome you back to the Jack E. Kirksey Recreation Center! Things are going to look and feel a little different at the Rec Center. We have safety protocols in place and some new rules. Please take a minute to read this important information carefully.
- Only members, class participants, or approved community groups will be permitted access to the Jack E. Kirksey Recreation Center at this time.

- To help us keep an accurate count of patrons and ensure social distancing, you will be required to enter the facility will be through the main entrance. The exit will be through the emergency doors in the concession table area. ADA participants will still be able to exit through accessible slider doors.
- Patrons will be required to provide a physical photo ID (membership card, student ID, State issued ID or a Driver’s License). Electronic ID will not be accepted.
- Patrons will scan in with their membership card or they must be enrolled in a class. This allows us to capture the patrons who have visited the facility and trace any possible exposures.
- A supervisor will visually check individual rooms for capacity limits hourly.
- Once capacity is reached, a sign will be placed in the front of the building or room alerting patrons. We ask that you abide by the capacity limits.
- Patrons will scan out when leaving the facility.
- Gym use is limited to classes, pickleball, volleyball, and basketball or other organized sport. Playing Basketball is considered a high-risk activity.
KIRKSEY RECREATION CENTER MEMBERSHIP UPDATE
All Kirksey Recreation Center memberships have been extended for the duration of the closure. If you have paid in full for the year in advance, your expiration date has been extended. If you were paying via EFT on a monthly basis, your payment was stopped during the closure. Because the March payments had already been drafted when the Rec Center was closed, payments began again in October.
