Why does "recreation" have to be synonymous with "sports"? There are many different types of recreational pursuits that do not have to include organized sports with screaming coaches and parents on the sidelines - and bad language to boot.
Isn't it time to be a little more creative?
****************
Recreation is a general term that includes sports . Leisure Services is the title of the department that
manages the range of activities the town provides. I think it fairly describes the service.
Many small neighbourhood parks, where there is no parking and tournament noise at the week-ends denies residents of peaceful enjoyment of their property, could cease to be used inappropriately if the town retained ownership of the Leslie lands for the original purpose.
It would be a supplementary benefit.

Ummm, do we not also have a deficit of industrial lands?
Giving this land up for parks would mean less commercial taxes, and less local employment.
You criticized the previous council for not selling the old hydro building for the vary same reason, yet you are so willing to give up this important source of revenue.
Keeping this for a park will surely result in tax increases.
