Lakeland Youth, Park Board Discuss Changes In Community Center Project

SYRACUSE - New ideas can bring changes to any plans. Such was the case Saturday when the Lakeland Youth Center and the Syracuse Park Board met with the community center architect to discuss changes in the plans for the center. Many of the changes the Youth Center wanted dealt with security and the gym. "We went and visited several places in the area to get a couple of ideas," incoming youth center board vice president David Granger said. He said the people who run a community center in Ligonier said visibility is important and they recommended one central point where there can be visibility and control for the center director or office workers.He suggested having a window looking off to the gym from the director's office. He also said they were told to have their reception area near the bathrooms.The reception area then could act as a kind of toll gate. Current board president Scott Abbs suggested keeping lockers separate from the bathrooms.
