I can't help but see this project as half thought through. Will it use up a lot of the green space in the park? Of course it will. Is there a better use of this space? Probably. Do we need or will we use an outdoor skating rink with all the costs of maintaining it? Probably not, if past rinks are any indicator. Is there another way to use this money (1 million) in Wenona Park in a more productive manner? I really can't see that anyone has investigated this aspect but, I bet there is. Is a shaded pavillion going to be used any more in the summer than the natural trees there now? hard to say, but is it worth 3 million to find out?
