Age Requirements

Beginning on September 1stwe will lower the age requirement to be unattended in our facility back to 9 years of age.  Parents, please talk to your children about being mindful of other people’s personal space. We have removed all of the seating areas and expect your child to be actively engaged in activity while in our facility.  We have struggled in the past with TRAC being a place for youth to hang out on their phones or in our seating areas for hours at a time.  Please be respectful of our request to limit time in the facility to 60-90 minutes.  If your child is not actively using our facility or adhering to our physical distancing guidelines you will be notified and your child could be suspended from our facility.

 

Membership Cards

All members must have membership card to scan in. Members will not be allowed to enter if they do not have their membership card.  You can take a picture of your card on your phone and use that to scan yourself in as a backup in case you forget your card.  Staff will not manually look members up to “check” them in.  Replacement cards are available for purchase for $5.00 plus.

Shared Equipment

Starting on September 1stwe will have a limited amount of shared equipment available in our gym and bubble (basketballs, volleyballs, footballs, tennis, etc).  If you use our equipment please wipe them down with a disinfecting wipe before and after use.  We will be disinfecting throughout the day.  We still encourage you bring your own equipment.  We also recommend you bring your own workout mat with you if you prefer to use one for stretching or core work.  We will not have mats available for usage at this time.

 

Pickleball

We offer open play for Pickleball on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00-11:00am.  Because of COVID-19 we ask you to call us at 952-8722 to reserve a court at no cost.  We are allowing doubles play and we will provide equipment for you.

As we are working to reopen our facility we will be lifting some restrictions beginning on Monday, June 22nd:

 

Age Restrictions:

We will be reducing the age limit from 14 to 12 that requires a parent or guardian to be in attendance for supervision.  This means that children 12 years old and up can attend TRAC without a supervisor as long as they follow the guidelines and respect TRAC staff.  We will be taking a zero-tolerance approach to this and will ask anyone that does not follow the guidelines to leave the facility.  Youth under the age of 12 are allowed in the facility, they just need a parent/guarding actively supervising.

 

Payments:

All payment types will be accepted.  Cash, check and credit card.

 

Gym/Bubble Play:

We will allow small group play in the gym and bubble spaces. The northeast court will be unavailable due to group fitness classes being held in that space.  Please continue to be mindful of others using the gym/bubble spaces.  You must continue to provide your own equipment.

 

Pool:

Water exercise classes are back!  Classes are taking place Monday – Thursday morning in the pool.  Please see the complete group fitness schedule and sign up online at https://tracjamestown.com/group-fitness-schedule/.  We are looking at fully opening our pool in early July.  We are excited to offer the big slides, play structure and have more recreational swim opportunities for the community.  Stay tuned for more information to come!

Activities:

  • Walking:

    • No balls or equipment will be available for use.  Individuals must bring in their own equipment.

 

Party in the Parking Lot (at a distance)!

Our group exercise team is working to offer classes outdoors and are targeting a kick-off for this on Wednesday afternoon May 20th.  Watch our group exercise schedule on the website and our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram for more information. This will require participants to maintain physical distance and not gather in groups.

 

Anticipated for June 1, 2020

We are planning to welcome our group exercise classes back into the building beginning June 1st.  We will continue to offer the option for members to participate online but also allow members to come back and participate in person.  There will be new guidelines developed for the classes as well and shared in the future.  These guidelines will include designated spaces for individuals to exercise in, no sharing of equipment, staff will disinfect equipment before and after every class, and possibly the need to pre-register and limit in person participants.

 

We have had many questions about when the pool will open.  At this point we are not allowed to open the pool. We have been in contact with our public health department and they have shared that they are working with others across the state to develop guidelines for opening pools.  We are looking forward to getting back in the water and have a plan for when we are allowed to do so.

 

Thank you for your patience as we work through this reopening process.

April 1st, 2020

Dear Two Rivers Activity Center Members,

 

What a month it has been! As we begin the month and are faced with more uncertainty in the future, I wanted to take a moment to share the status of programming at TRAC and answer common questions we have been fielding.

 

Staffing

TRAC has on average 130 part- and full-time employees. All full-time employees have continued to work during the closure. Many of our part time employees are students who have moved back home and are now finishing school via distance learning. We were able to provide limited opportunities for our part time staff to complete cleaning and disinfecting tasks however at this point we no longer have work for them to complete. Allie is continuing to staff the Guest Service department Monday-Friday 8:00-4:30. You can reach her by calling 952-8722 or emailing guestservices@jamestownparksandrec.com Please leave a message if she is not available to take your call. We check messages throughout the day and will reply as soon as possible.

 

OnTRAC Learning Center

We are continuing to serve families in our community by providing Pre School and care to School Age children. On March 16 and 17 we closed the center to deep clean and disinfect all spaces, equipment, and supplies. On March 18 we reopened and have been implementing modified operating practices such as smaller group sizes (10 or less), health screening at drop off and throughout the day, modified meal and play practices, and an increased focus on hygiene and safety practices. The health and safety of children in our care and our staff has always been our top priority and will continue to be throughout this pandemic.

 

On Monday March 30, 2020 OnTRAC Learning Center began to participate in the Childcare Emergency Operations Program (CEOG) through the ND Department of Human Services. This program provides OnTRAC Learning Center with the opportunity to not require full tuition payment from families whose child is not currently attending and allows us to care for additional children 3 years old-5thgrade with priority given to families working in essential services such as healthcare, safety, and lifeline jobs. In addition, we will partner with Jamestown Public Schools to facilitate the distance education requirements for each child in our care.

 

Please contact Tammy Mewes, OnTRAC Learning Center Director at tammy@jamestownparksandrec.com or 701-952-8723 to learn more about the program.

 

Membership and Rentals

Policies and procedures are currently being developed to accommodate our members regarding our program fees, facility rentals and facility memberships. We will NOT be auto withdrawing April membership fees. All memberships at TRAC have been put on suspend until we know when we are opening. When we have more information regarding this, we will give everyone appropriate notice to make changes to their memberships.All programming and rentals during this time will be credited to accounts or refunded. We will be in contact with anyone who has reservations during the time of our closure as soon as we know more. Please allow 30 days from the date of reopening for processing. As always, we will do our best to accommodate all our users in the fairest ways possible.

 

Programming

The Wellness and Group Exercise department has been working above and beyond the last few weeks to modify their programs and provide opportunities for our community members to stay physically active and healthy during this stressful time. Please visit our website to find at home workouts, relaxation activities, healthy recipes and many more resources. In addition, we have begun to offer live interactive exercise sessions with our instructors via Zoom. This week we have 20 classes on the schedule. You can find the schedule and the Zoom links to connect to the classes here https://tracjamestown.com/group-fitness-schedule/

 

Continue to check our website often for new and fun ideas that our team is developing to support our community during this challenging time.

 

Donations

I have heard from many of you that you wish to continue to support TRAC and our work to create healthy opportunities for our community during the shut down by offering your monthly membership fees as a donation, please click here. We appreciate you and feel honored that you value our role in the community. We will continue to work to meet our mission each and every day.

 

I miss the hustle and bustle throughout the building. I miss seeing and connecting with you all each day. I look forward to the time when we can re-open our doors and continue to serve you all. Until then, stay active, safe and healthy.

 

Sincerely,

 

Amy Walters

TRAC Facility Manager

We are empathetic to those who are disheartened or frustrated regarding the closing of facilities and the interruptions of activities. However, we value and trust the knowledge and advice of the Public Health officials approach to implement social distancing measures.

 

Policies and procedures are currently being developed to accommodate our members regarding our program fees, facility rentals and facility memberships.  All memberships at TRAC have been put on suspend until we know when we are opening.  When we have more information regarding this, we will give everyone appropriate notice to make changes to their memberships.

Our staff has also been utilizing this time to deep clean the facility.  Our tremendous fitness staff has been putting together workout plans, relaxation exercises, quick and easy recipes and more to be posted on Facebook page and website www.tracjamestown.com to keep everyone as healthy and active as possible.

 

JPRD will follow CDC and ND Department of Health recommendations to ensure we are making well informed decisions.  We will continue to give regular updates to inform the community of our operations.

 

Be patient, be kind.
