Does anyone really believe that there would be sufficient utilization after 8 PM or at 5 in the morning to justify the staffing costs? Except for at the town squares, they roll up the sidewalks around here 30 minutes after sun goes down.
No one said anything about hours. The rec centers could continue to operate as they currently do just start accepting silver sneakers for those who are eligible instead of charging residents.
