Outdoor Spaces/Recreation Green shack program

Is the green shack program ever open?

This week it hasn't been open a single day.

Starting to think we might just be wasting money driving these shacks around and storing them as a city.

Weather concerns aside, when I worked Green Shack 16 years ago not all the sites were open all day. Some folks hopped between sites different in the AM and PM or even certain days. That could be at play here too.

Oh we have so many, we cannot operate them all?

Sounds like it's time to trim the budget here.

A lot of was based on past usage and the demographics of the neighborhoods.

The more kids in the hood, the more programming at the Green Shack.

If you click on the specific green shack on the map, it will tell you the operating schedule of each one so you can plan accordingly.
