"The total cost of the project is $3.6 million" Be sure and tell those families affected by the layoffs why we are learning to do without.

"Councilwoman Madelyn Scales Harris asked whether the city has made this accessible to lower income families."
"Councilman Ron Washington raised concerns that the city needs to help bring two parts of the city together more."
Translation= The new facility needs to be free to be overrun by unsupervised, hands out for more free stuff, ill behaved kids like Patterson Park. Any time a family goes to Patterson, you will be amazed at how many children run thru without paying, an without any supervison, totally out of control of the staff.

Whistleblower, you are 110% correct! A trip to Patterson is like going to a third world country.

The 2 previous posters are dead right about Patterson Park. I haven't been there in ages and we no longer attend private birthday parties that are held there, either. It's gross and life is too short to waste time worrying about someone else's unsupervised kid.

Want to see a nice water park, well run and decently priced, Manchester. From where I live not that much further.

Yuppers. The complex I live in has not opened the pool in 2 years now because of new regulations on a water drain. People come here and take advantage of the cheap rent then quit paying and leave or are evicted leaving the maintenence man and me to clean up after them. The landlord cannot pay to repair the pool so he gives vouchers to the public pools. I have heard some horror stories from some that have went to Patterson Park then the next door neighbor goes there most every weekend.

If the pool has a maximum and the prediction that it will fill to capacity causing a wait is actually true, then there should be a limit to the # of free admissions per day. Afterall the pool has to start to produce revenue to pay for itself or the admissions fee will need to be raised.

Well thanks a lot to all of you posters above...somehow you have managed to turn something that should be fun and exciting and something most of Murfreesboro was looking forward to into something negative and depressing. Good Lord...get a grip!
And along with that, haven't been to Patterson for a while, but IF what you all say is true, Patterson needs to get a grip as well. Who's running things over there anyway?

Justdance, Who's running things at Patterson Park? The kids whose parents drop them off there for daycare all day, that's who. I went for the first time last Thursday and we lasted twenty minutes. I can't wait for Sports Com!!!!
