I just went swimming at Mills Pool this weekend for the first time. I recall having a credit remaining from the previous year, but the attendant indicated that these credits don't carry over nor are they refunded. It doesn't seem like it would be too much trouble to allow credits for swimming to carry over from the last year. I hope this is something you will consider for pool users in the future.

I don't have an issue to report. I am trying to locate any art classes that the rec centers may have but I must be overlooking any link this website has. I can only find sport or outdoor activities programs. Would you send me a link, please?

I registered for a Wild Edibles class and was supposed to receive directions to Latimer Woods with my registration. I have not yet received them and the class is next week. Can you please have the organizer let me know where in Latimer Woods we will meet?

I cannot understand how the city council approved so much money for cross country ski trails in Hyland park. I believe it is over 3 million dollars. This is money that could be used for property tax relief. Hyland Park was just beautiful just the way it was.

Hi, there. Not sure who to send this to, so I'm hoping you can forward it on.
First, I recently came across this idea of closing streets (temporarily) to allow kids to play. I think it would be amazing to see something like this in Bloomington. http://www.reading.gov.uk/residents/community-and-living/play-streets/
Secondly, I took my three year old to Touch a Truck this year. What a wonderful event! We had a blast. He has been every year of his life, but this was the first time I was able to go with him. I wanted to give my feedback about the amount of candy at the event. It seems like it was everywhere and several other moms I talked to were really upset about it (especially since a lot of it was hard candy or really chewy stuff that can be a choking hazard for very young children). I think the trucks are the main event and the kids are so excited to see them. Adding candy to the mix just complicates things unnecessarily. Personally, I was really surprised to see the giant colors of fruit drinks (which I assume were donated by Pepsi). It was SO hot outside. I had forgotten our water bottles and really would have loved a drink of cold water. Our kids don't drink fruit drinks, so we just waited until we left and got water bottles elsewhere. But I would hope that Parks & Rec is all about encouraging healthy bodies, right? Maybe Pepsi could bring some water next year.
Thanks.
