City Council Tuesday night will consider a plea to build more recreation facilities in Longmont.

The request comes from the city’s Parks & Recreation Advisory Board which said in a Feb.16 statement, that the public is demanding more recreation services.

“The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board concludes, based on public feedback, that the city of Longmont urgently needs expanded recreation facilities to meet the growing population and demand,” according to the statement.

The advisory board recommends that the city council “prioritize near term action” in planning and designing for more recreation facilities, the statement adds.

The council is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. and the recreation request falls under “general business.”
