nature of project

FUTURE PLANS FOR EXPANSION OF THE CANYON LAKES PROJECT NORTH

OF LOOP »89 INDICATE A NEED FOR A RECREATIONAL CENTER. THE

NEED FOR SUCH A COMPLEX FOLLOWS THE CURRENT TREND TO MAINTAIN

A SATISFACTORY LEVEL OF PHYSICAL FITNESS. WHEN ONE SPEAKS OF

PHYSICAL FITNESS, HE MUST INCLUDE THE ELDERLY AS WELL AS THE

YOUNG AND SPIRITED. THIS RECREATIONAL CENTER WILL SERVE

EVERYONE, YOUNG AND OLD; AND WILL ALSO INCLUDE BOTH ACTIVE

AND PASSIVE ACTIVITIES. WITH EMPHASIS BEING ON ACTIVE

RECREATION, THE CENTER WILL BLEND WITH THE SURROUNDING YELLOW-

HOUSE CANYON PROJECT AND WORK AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE AREA.

THE CLIENT WILL BE THE STAFF OF THE PARKS AND

RECREATION DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK.

IT IS THE SOUND OF AMERICA, THE CACOPHONY OF A PEOPLE SHAPING

UP. ITS MESSAGE IS THAT THE NATION IS IN THE THRALL OF AN

UNPRECEDENTED OBSESSION WITH PHYSICAL FITNESS. ATTRIBUTE IT

TO AN OVERDOSE OF TELEVISED-SPORTS SPECTATORSHIP, OR FEAR .

OF SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION AND CORONARY OCCLUSION. OR EVEN, AS

PSYCHOLOGIST DR. RICHARD M. SUINN SUGGESTS, A SWING AWAY

FROM MATERIALISTIC VALUES TOWARD "NEW FEELING STATES."

SO MUCH FOR THE CEREMONIAL B.S? WHAT IS INDISPUTABLY CLEAR

IS THAT MAN IS SUDDENLY DETERMINED TO MAKE HIS CAPILLARIES

THROB LIKE THOSE OF A VIKING ON THE RAID. ACCORDING TO

STATISTICS COMBINED BY SINDLINGER'S ECONOMIC SERVICE, A

RECORD 87.5 MILLION U.S. ADULTS (18 AND OVER) NOW CLAIM TO

PARTICIPATE IN ATHLETIC ACTIVITY. HOWEVER THE TREND DOES NOT

SIMPLY INCLUDE THE MIDDLE-AGED, IN ONE NEW YORK CITY GYM,

400 CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 3 MONTHS ARE REGULARLY GUIDED 1

THROUGH THEIR GYMNASTIC PACES.

ORMOND GIGLI, "KEEPING FIT: AMERICA TRIES TO SHAPE UP," NEWSWEEK. NOV. 1977, pp. 78-87.

TOWARD THE OTHER END OF THE AGE SPECTRUM, MORE AND MORE OF

AMERICA'S OLDER CITIZENS ARE ENCOURAGED TO STRIVE FOR

PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT. BUSINESS FIRMS HAVE FORMED COMPANY

EXERCISE PROGRAMS. PHYSICIANS URGE ALL PEOPLE TO STAY FIT.

m

PERHAPS THE MOST VISIBLE SIGN OF THE FITNESS BOOM CAN BE

OBSERVED ALONG PARK PATHS AND THE ROAD'S EDGE. JOGGERS NOW

NUMBER AN ESTIMATED 8 MILLION. TENNIS CONTINUES ITS

SURGE ONTO THE AMERICAN LEISURE SCENE. AS POPULAR AS TENNIS

IS, A FUSION OF HANDBALL AND SQUASH CALLED RACQUETBALL IS

GRADUALLY REPLACING IT AS THE NATION'S FASTEST-GROWING 2

PARTICIPATION SPORT.

PERHAPS THE MOST SALIENT ASPECT OF SHAPING UP IS THE NEW COED

CHARACTER. FEMALE INVASION OF THE SPORTS WORLD FIRST BEGAN

WITH TENNIS AND IS GRADUALLY SPREADING TO ALL ACTIVITIES.

IN MANY LARGE CITIES THE HEALTH CLUB HAS REPLACED THE

SINGLES BAR AS THE MOST POPULAR MEET-MARKET. "

NEW DEVELOPMENTS SUCH AS NAUTILUS AND PARACOURSES HAVE BEGAP*

TO INVADE THE RECREATIONAL SCENE. A PARACOURSE IS A 2-MILE

LONG CIRCUIT STUDDED WITH TWENTY EXERCISE STATIONS. IT PLACES

PRIMARY EMPHASIS ON DEVELOPING THE HEART MUSCLE RATHER THAN

BICEPS OR PECTORALS. "AFTER ALL," EXPLAINED PETER STOCHER,

A SAN FRANCISCO REAL-ESTATE BROKER WHO INTRODUCED THE CONCEPT

TO THE U.S. IN 1973. "NO ONE EVER DIED OF WEAK ARMS."

REGARDLESS OF AGE OR SEX, AMERICA IS DETERMINED TO SHAPE UP;

WHETHER THE PURPOSE IS TO IMPROVE PHYSICAL CHARACTER,

STRENGTHEN BODILY FUNCTIONS, OR SIMPLY TO ACHIEVE THAT

"GOOD" FEELING. WITH AN ARSENAL OF FITNESS PROGRAMS AND

CHALLENGING GAMES, THE SOLE RETARDANT OF AMERICA IS SHAPING

UP ITS ATTITUDE, WHICH IS IMPROVING DAILY.

- BARCLAY F. GORDON, "BUILDING FOR SPORT," ARCHITECTUAL RECORD. FEB. 1977. pp. 115.

ONE OF THE MOST COMMONLY OBSERVED AND LEAST UNDERSTOOD

ACTIVITIES SURROUNDING US IS THE PLAY OF YOUNG CHILDREN.

PLEASURE, SECURITY, HOPE, LOVE, CONFLICT, FRUSTRATION,

FEARS, AND HATES ARE EXPRESSED BY CHILDREN IN THE BEST

LANGUAGE AVAILABLE TO THEM - PLAY ACTIVITY. THE ACTIVITIES

CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN SHOULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO EXPRESS-

THROUGH PLAY THESE FEELINGS.

•\r IT

CHILDREN HAVE FAR MORE IMAGINATION THAN OTHER AGE GROUPS;

THEREFORE, THEIR REQUIREMENTS FOR RECREATION EQUIPMENT ARE

FAR LESS THAN THAT OF OLDER PEOPLE. THEY SHOULD, HOWEVER,

BE FREED OF THE CLASSICAL "PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT" AS A

MEANS OF RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY. GRANTED THEY SHOULD BE

PROVIDED WITH SOME OF THIS EQUIPMENT, THERE MUST BE

MINIMUM LIMITS PLACED ON THEM. THE PLAYGROUND SHOULD BE 4

SAFE, BUT NOT RESTRICTIVE.

CREATION OF A BARRIER-FREE ENVIRONMENT IS THE PRIMARY

AIM OF THE NORTH LUBBOCK RECREATIONAL CENTER.

RESTRICTIONS IN AGE GROUP MIXTURE AND USE BY THE

HANDICAPPED WILL BE MINIMAL. USERS WILL BE GIVEN

THE FREEDOM TO PARTICIPATE IN INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES

OR GROUP INTERACTION. SINCE THERE IS AN UNUSUALLY

PLEASING ENVIRONMENT SURROUNDING THE CENTER IN THE

YELLOWHOUSE CANYON LAKES PROJECT; SPECIAL EMPHASIS

WILL BE PLACED ON LINKING THE CENTER TO THE

SURROUNDING AREA. THIS LINK WILL CONNECT NATURE

ORIENTED RECREATION TO THE INDOOR RECREATION OF THE

CENTER.

SPECIAL ATTENTION WILL BE GIVEN TO THE ABOVE FACETS;

HOWEVER, THE MOST SACRED CONCEPT IS THAT OF THE USERS

THE CENTER WILL NOT BE DESIGNED AS A CREDIT TO THE

CITY OR DESIGNER; BUT WITH THE USER'S HAPPINESS

RECEIVING THE UTMOST ATTENTION.

ACTIVITY LINKING THE PARK AND THE COMPLEX.
