This is an example of how progress is held up, delayed, or prevented, winding up costing way more then it should and delaying the enjoyment of all.

The Tennis Bubble is a good idea, as I suppose people want to play tennis in the Winter, with out joining private clubs.

Racquet Ball is my came, partly because you can play by yourself and do not have to chase the ball. We do not have Racquet Ball Court, where I live, in part because Homeless People would be using them for Housing. I still play but indoors at a health club. Distance is an issue so games are rare.

My question is. Is the Bubble Heated? If it is not Moisture and Ice will form regardle

Melissa Barbanell has wasted tax payer dollars on her frivolous lawsuit for years. It is a shame.

Three cheers for Melissa Barbanell. City leaders need to follow the laws and ordinances that they write. As the court ruled, the city was in violation of their own rules. Don't get upset at Ms. Barbanell, the money was wasted by city officials who tried to cut corners.

Ms. Barbanell needs to focus her efforts elsewhere and stop wasting our tax dollars. The bubble is a wonderful addition to the park, which allows people to play tennis year round. I live around the corner from the park and love being able to use the facility year round.

Anything added to Liberty Park is an improvement. If you cut the lawn it is an improvement. What is the motivation here? What is historic about Liberty Park other than someone said so? It is a piece of land with trees, grass, and an aviary in it. It is in a run down area with a lot of crime. Why do you think the drum circle likes to go there, smoke hippy lettuce, and pretend they are all Native Americans?
