USD 439 and the Sedgwick Recreation Commission have agreed to consolidate their effort in offering a wellness center to the community but they still have obstacles to overcome in making it a reality. Superintendent Greg Lehr said the district plans to have the outdoor track, the indoor walking track, the new gymnasium, and the cardio/fitness room available for use by anyone living inside the district’s parameters. He said they don’t plan to make the heavy weight room available to the public but could consider its use on a case-by-case basis. Lehr said construction was scheduled to be done in mid-September and hopefully they could start making the areas available to the public in October. “This is a community space,” Lehr said. “We want people to come in and use it. We want them to see what we do on a daily basis. Not everybody understands that.” Interested parties will have to pass a background check, signs waivers, and agree to the state rules.
