In general, I find that the recreation department does a very poor job with timely updates and information. Schedules posted in the recreation news are often very different than what's posted at the actual rec center. And given that this discrepancy often exists for weeks at a time, I cannot accept the argument that the weekly recreation news can't be a timely. Further, while I appreciate that maintenance is required, there seems to be a callous attitude with the recreation department that there's nothing wrong with having scores of people show up for an event, only to find a posted notice of closure.
Calling the rec center often does you no good. I have found that they will just check the weekly rec news and spout back what that says, which is often not correct.
I really don't think it's too much to ask that the recreation department on their web page have a regular, up front listing of closures and that it be kept up in a timely manner.
