The Parks and Recreation department there built a wonderful facility for residents which featured both indoor and outdoor pools (2 of each), a large basketball court with retractable backboards where 6 half court games could be played simultaneously. These courts could also be switched over to facilitate indoor volleyball. Above and surrounding the perimeter of these courts was an indoor running/walking track. There was also a large exercise facility with free weights, Nautilus machines, and a large variety of exercise bikes, treadmills, ellipticals and so forth. In addition, there were a number of meeting rooms, some with kitchen facilities to accommodate bithday piarties, special events,etc.
But, as far as I remember, Plainfield did not have a municipal golf course.
My point is simply that almost anything can be accomplished if there are enough people willing to support it.

Almost anything is posssible if you have enough money from other people(taxpayers)
