Schedule:

9:00 AM: Registration Opens

9:30 AM– 10:30 AM: Morning Session: Memorial Hall, a 113-year-old municipal auditorium, has long served as a cornerstone of Downtown Hutchinson. Throughout its history, the City of Hutchinson has faced recurring challenges in determining the building’s most effective use. Today, rising costs and significant deferred maintenance once again place the facility at a crossroads. This presentation will explore the recently completed Historic Preservation and Reuse Plan, outline future visions for the building, and highlight common maintenance challenges encountered in historic facilities.

10:30 AM – 11:15 PM: Tour Memorial Hall

11:15 PM - 12:00 PM: Lunch

12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Afternoon Session: Action sports facilities, such as skate parks and bike parks, bring unique opportunities—and challenges—for communities. This session will focus on design considerations, long-term maintenance, and lessons learned from over 20 years of use and explore Hutchinson’s new bike park alongside one of Kansas’s first skate parks.

1:15 PM – 2:30 PM: Tour Carey Park’s Skate and Bike Park (featuring bikes to try!).
