Park Gets New Gym Heater Units

Those who have been to Morrisons Cove Memorial Park over the winter months might have thought the gym was a bit cooler than usual. Your mind was not playing tricks on you.

An epic failure of both gym heater units occurred in October.

Due to COVID-19 supply chain issues, the $40,000 heaters were not delivered until just last week.

Rabenstein Heating from Williamsburg is the contractor on the project.

A crane (shown in photo) was rented from Saylor Brothers in Altoona to move the heaters upon the roof.

Remarkably, even without heat for the entire winter, the Park did not have to cancel one single gym rental the entire season. There were two to three different rentals each day of the week.

The management of MCMP devised a system to supply supplemental heat using two turbo heaters that the Park purchased from Cove Lumber. They utilized about 15 gallons of off-road diesel every day or two to heat the gym in the hours that it was not in use.
