The Belle­vue Recre­ation Depart­ment again has its City Activ­ity Cen­tre Walk­ing Track open to the pub­lic at 3000 Seneca Indus­trial Parkway.

The track ‚which is located at the back of Belle­vue City Cen­ter, is open Mon­day through Fri­day, from 5:30 a.m. to 2 :30 p.m. and Sat­ur­days from 5:30 a.m. to 8 a.m.

“We might offer some extended hours,” Rec direc­tor Mark Weisen­berger said recently.

Work con­tin­ues at the new area being used for the city Activ­ity Cen­tre. The walk­ing track was installed ear­lier this month and nets were added last week for ball prac­tice, said. The new floor for gym­nas­tics and tum­bling is par­tially completed.

Weisen­berger said that new cur­tains will sep­a­rate the activ­i­ties areas in the warehouse-size room. He expected that they should be installed next week.

To use the new Activ­ity Cen­tre walk­ing track, a walker must be a mem­ber of the Belle­vue Com­mu­nity Cen­ter, have a day pass or pur­chase a walk­ing track mem­bers. The lone walk­ing track mem­ber­ship is $25 for a city res­i­dent and $30 for a non resident.

The activ­ity cen­ter track is an unsu­per­vised facil­ity and those who use the track are advised not to walk alone.

Weisen­berger reported that it takes a dozen trips about the track to make a one-mile walk. In case of bad weather con­tact the Com­mu­nity Cen­ter at 419–483-5555 to see if the track is available.

To pur­chase a track or com­mu­nity cen­ter mem­ber­ship visit the Com­mu­nity Cen­ter at 110 Cherry St.
