Re: Non-inclusive equipment at Griffy Lake- Hello, I am an avid Kayaker and was excited to learn of Griffy's addition of 6 kayaks. My husband and I had visited several times and enjoyed the canoes (there were never kayaks available) and were glowing with praise for our new favorite lake. (photo attached).
My excitement soon turned to bitter disappointment, and at this point I have no desire to return to Griffy.
My husband and I rented a car to visit, only to be turned away (after the woman behind the counter looked me up and down) for being too large to ride.
The kayaks at Griffy are the smallest size made with the lowest weight limit on the market. This is not inclusive. I urge you to consider adding a larger models that accommodate adult kayakers. This would better serve the community and prevent others from having this embarrassing, expensive, and horribly negative experience.
Thank you for your consideration.

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 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.

My child just finished swim lessons last week with Clara B. I would not recommend her as an instructor with kids because she was disconnected and showed little enthusiasm during instruction. I don't think I saw her smile once in two weeks of class. In general, I was disappointed with swim classes and not sure I'll return next year. The classes didn't seem to start on time and the instructors did not seem well trained for instruction.

Vendor applications for the 2022 Junk-In-The-Trunk are next to impossible to access on-line (as has been the case for as long as the event has been in existence). Why can this not be corrected ?
