What a disgrace this is. No one wants to play at that park anymore. It is over run by healthbarn buses, birthday parties, field trips and anyone who wants to pay $$$ to be in a public park A business in a park where the owner writes down and reports kids with back packs that use the park…the ones not paying her to use it
And watch out dog owner too. She takes pictures and records you if your dog if off leash or in an area she doesn’t want you to be in. She takes pictures of the back of people walking their dogs. It’s crazy and true! Watch your back!!
The neighborhood park was turned over to a mean business owner. She may file a report against you too
If the real snake in Habernickel park doesn’t get you this one will!
Wake up people this business is costing us money while She earns money. Why? Why?
What does the village get ? We only get rent And we pay the business to run private programs, dinners and parties.
Rent can come from anyone, why a business that costs the town money
This is not profitable at all seems to be a n expense
