Stop the Closure of Loyal Heights and Ballard Community Centers
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, seek to stop the possible closure of BOTH the Loyal Heights Community Center AND the Ballard Community Center.
Both of these centers should remain open, as they provide valuable and appreciated services and facilities to the surrounding neighborhoods of Ballard Proper, Loyal Heights, Sunset Hill, North Beach, East Ballard, Crown Hill, Broadview and Fremont; neighbors of every age partake in each centers programs, classes and gym timeespecially children.
We offer that the City and the Parks Department look elsewhere to reduce costs and close the budget deficit, specifically by reducing the department's payroll and operating hours. We also propose considering a moderate increase in user and participant fees, if that would help keep these community centers open.
We understand that in this economy, local government is having to trim costs and cut back. However, we value these community centers just as much as our police and fire departments. They represent an irreplaceable and vital hub of community activity week after week.
