Board approves Memorial Gym walking use for local school group

The Huntingburg City Parks Board approved a facility-use request from "Southwest D Boy County School" to use Memorial Gym for walking. The board reviewed the submitted facility-use form, noted the gym has historically been treated as open to the public, and approved the request after a motion and second; one board member recorded opposition during the roll-call.

Allison Beaker confirmed the gym "is open to the public" and described how the facility has been funneled through senior-center channels in prior years. The board said approval had been verified by the city's insurance carriers, and staff will follow the approved process for facility use forms going forward.
