The new rec. center is a huge success eight weeks of the year, unless you live near it during those eight weeks. In the fall, it's nice to shoot hoops as long as the wind isn't blowing. The court is pretty small too. Actually, it's the smallest outdoor court I've ever seen. A 3-point shot from the corner is impossible, unless you have a size three shoe. My biggest issue is the lights! Does the "empty rec." need lights on every night, all year? You want more tax money, stop wasting the money we already parted with.
