\t\t\t\t\"rec<\/a>Residents who are members are at the Central Park Recreation Center<\/a> were frustrated when they realized that the Center would be closed for a full week last week. \u201cI pay a monthly membership fee so that I can exercise there and stay hot<\/a>,\u201d said resident Brenda Miller. \u201cPlus, we take the kids there to swim. I think a week seems like a long time to close down the whole place.\u201d Many other members agree with Miller. \u201cI doubt they are going to take a week off of my costs, are they?\u201d asks member Joe Tracy. \u201cIt is ridiculous. What were they doing where the entire place needed to be shut down for a week?\u201d When members found out what they actually were doing they became more frustrated.\n\nIt turns out, the rec center shut down its entire facilities for seven days to simply \u201cclean up.\u201d \u201cIt was just kind of a cleaning,\u201d said Central Park Rec Center<\/a> Manager Dawn Christin. \u201cYou know, wipe off the benches, organize and clean the weights, Windex the display screens on the treadmills, etc. It looks SO much better. It just feels better to come into in the morning, and we think our members will agree.\u201d Not so fast, Christin. \u201cWhat!?\u201d exclaimed member Nate Drenner. \u201cThey shut the whole thing down for a week for some basic cleaning? I assumed they were doing a massive renovation, or they were adding new machinery. There had to have been a better way to manage that.\u201d\nMember Sylvia Hanson agrees. \u201cThat was just cleaning? I should have seen sparkles when I walked back into that place. I assumed there was some secret room that was added, and I just didn\u2019t see it. Wow. I would think they could have quarantined off a room at a time and left most of it open. I mean, if they were bug bombing, or if there was a rat infestation I get it. But a simple clean?\u201d\nTo make matters worse, the pool will be closed for almost a month as well. It has not been determined what is being done with the pool<\/a>, but more than likely they are going to be busy pumping up the basketballs. Manager Christin says that next year they will be closed for a longer period of time. \u201cWe plan to be closed for three months next year during our cleaning period. We feel that we can get an even deeper clean if we have that kind of time and keep residents out for that time period.\u201d The rec center better be careful, or no one will be coming back next year after the cleaning period.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
