You can not beat any of the prices compared to the suburban park districts. The park that my children attend has had a sign up about the increase since the beginning of summer. This was not a local park decision but an administrative one. As for paying $45.00 for a soccer program. Did you ask each park what is included in their soccer program? Is it just instruction? League Play? Awards? T- Shirts?

Many park supervisors were vehemently opposed to this but it fell on deaf ears.<br /><br />Part of this could be to do the fact that some parks are very well represented at budget hearings for the park - they make the concerns / wants / needs heard and sometimes the park district listens.<br /><br />There is an upcoming south region budget meeting coming September 10 at the South Shore Cultural Center.<br /><br />Why don't you get a group and go and complain - let them know if this continues you'll go somewhere else.

I also don't remember telling people to act in such a way, that it would get the attention of local or national media. My point was simple. Continue going to the park. I am an idiot though. Reading all the different comments about the park. I thought the point that most of the commenters were trying to make was to keep going up there, hold people accountable for there actions, and call the authorities if need be.<br /><br />I took my kid up to the park on Monday. I was sitting at one of the tables reading. Two ladies sat down at a table next to me. One of them just got back from 7-11 w/ some big gulps and doughnuts, for there kids. A little later I took my kid to the bathroom. When we got back, the 2 ladys had left. They must have "forgotten" to throw their garbage away. So I threw it away for them. You're right. I'm a f###ing idiot.<br /><br />So to clarify, if you go to the park and see people using it as a parish (which I doubt would ever happen) simply ask them to stop. If they don't, call the authorities. If the sunday (park) sermons continue. Get a hold of the aclu. I think they would intervene based on the "religion" aspect. Nothing to do with race.j.o.b.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-72759114533313547072009-08-19T10:51:35.239-05:002009-08-19T10:51:35.239-05:00Can someone tell me why I paid

It is a rather long document to fill out and is very involved. <br /><br />Your group must submit the permit, the application fee, and cerificate of insurance for a $1,000,000.00. And a larger fee and security deposit must be paid (it is not cheap)<br /><br />If large tents are going to be used (larger than 10x10) a special permit is required for that with architectural drawing and inspections.<br /><br />If alcohol is going be involved a special permit is needed for that from CPD and the city and state.<br /><br />The red tape goes on and on.

It was on every channel and in every paper for DAYS. And what was the result? They were INVITED back to the pool after they were asked to leave. Take a breath, stand back and give this some thought.
