Description

Why is UA the only Columbus burb without a Community Center? This is not just bad for our community but a near embarrassment. Hilliard has its beautiful YMCA, Dublin, Worthington, Westerville all have wonderful community centers. We've got a water park and Tennis club we can use 5 months out of the year!

There is certainly space to build a Center at Kingsdale, Northam Park, Northwest Park, Thompson Park, Facnyburg Park, the old CompuServe Property on Henderson.

Just think of the extra foot traffic that business owners and developers would experience if Macy's were transformed into a community center?

Space is really not the issue, some say too many residents belong to country clubs and recreation clubs in our community so they don't want to be taxed for a community center. But I cannot think of anything more that we lack and that would add value to our community as well as to our property values.

Bring some of those health club\tennis club\swimming club dollars back to the community.

It benefits everyone young and old alike. Wake up Arlington, the other burbs are emberrassing us!
