Ludlow director: community center busy in December; membership form shows 33% nonresidents

Parks and Recreation Director Nick Miele reported to the Ludlow Recreation Committee that December saw heavy use of the community center, including fitness room visits, Black River Good Neighbors senior programming, pickleball, basketball, volleyball and open gym periods.

Miele said youth basketball practices were sporadic over the holiday break but teams will enter a heavy game schedule moving forward. He also said a newly implemented membership form revealed that only 33% of users are Ludlow residents, a detail the committee said could inform future scheduling and facility decisions.

Committee members discussed the range of uses and the implications for programming and scheduling; the form is intended to help staff better understand who uses the multiuse court and other spaces.
