Parks in the news

The CA has had two articles over the last two days talking about park news. The first deals with altered hours for golf on park courses. Recently the mayor's office closed most city courses three days a week and made the other weekday hours 12-8 at most courses. The afternoon heat is a tough time to play, esp. for the seniors who are a strong percentage of the customers, at least at Overton Park. Parks Director Cindy Buchanan appealed to city officials and got some mornings added back into the schedule.

The second article featured River Workout Fitness Program, a workout at the Greenbelt park that offered a free trial Saturday morning. Beats a concrete box gym building any day!
