I understand that if there isn't any money and the only option is closing down the pools, etc but then I also have to agree with Aurelia & what she said in her comment about closing resources like this. Very insightful & thought provoking post! I think I’m ‘middle of the fence’ here.

It troubles me to hear things like this. I agree with you that this is a great example as to why it is so important for urban centers to attract new residents and commercial investment. It is also important for everyone in the community to be aware of whats happening in the community. I can't see me supporting this decision at all. While our family doesnt use the community pool in our area much I most certaintly see the purpose and refuge that it serves so many other families in our community and there is no way that I would support closing a resource like that. I would be front and center with my voice to be heard. Do they realize that by closing those pools and resources to children and parents alike that they are ultimately harming the community?!
