    We do not pay taxes to Flomaton to maintain a park which has definite health benefits to be closed on some unsubstantiated whim by the Flotation counci because they want to show they are doing something even when its needed and wrong.

    If you want sunshine why not work outside, plant a garden or some other activity? There doesn’t have to be a park to get one outside…

    i’m thinking when the governor says shut these facilities down the cities have to follow suit. it’s probably true that the city park is not busy most of the day other than ducks and a few people walking but it is what it is.

    What ignoramous made this decision? I bet none were MDs. Any doctor will tell us that sunshine, fresh air and exercise will improve your health improve our circulation and build immunity. Lets hope this virus does not turn us all into zombie sheep. Let’s hope our “leaders” get their head out.
