Dear Editor,
I have been following with interest the plans of the Flagg-Rochelle Community Park District to build a new community recreation center. I had been part of the groups in the past that had held meetings toward such a facility.
So, I am glad that finally the park district is going ahead full steam with the project. Like many of you, I have been enjoying the facilities our parks provide, use the tennis courts in good weather and use both the Four Sisters Bike/Walking path, as well as the track around the junior tackle field for walking. My wife, Esther, enjoys Zumba, Qi Qong and other dance exercises. So we thank the park district for all that it does.
I heartily endorse this project.
Over the years, I have had the problem of not being able to play tennis or even walk for exercise when the weather is not conducive and have to go out of town for the same. I know of many friends who travel to DeKalb, Rockford, Sterling or other communities in the winter or when it rains. And that is not just for tennis. Some play pickleball elsewhere. Others go to malls for walking where the surface is not favorable for the joints.
