From a News and Observer opinion post by town council member Adam Searing, the following was written:
“Chapel Hill has a parks problem. Community parks commission chair Tyler Steelman noted recently that, people are talking about having to leave town to engage in parks and recreation, and go to surrounding areas to just participate in the types of programs they would like to see.”
Regarding keeping up with parks, Adam ends with “We don’t have to be a leader, but it would be nice not to be last in the pack”
Public tennis courts which serve the local Chapel Hill community are in shambles And now Parks & Rec is considering converting tennis courts to other sports. Let’s support the town citizens by preserving, maintaining and upgrading our public parks. Seems like with the taxes we pay in Chapel Hill, we could preserve and have decent public tennis courts too — used by all ages and diversity of tennis players who actually live in Chapel Hill communities. There are “too few safe and playable public tennis courts in Chapel Hill”.
