Save 12th & Park Rec Center
We are requesting that the City of St. Louis remove the women's shelter from 12th & Park Skate & Rec Center. The Rec Center was abruptly closed by the City officials of St. Louis without public hearings or notice to the public.
Why is this important?
The children of the near south side community has one community center in the area operated by the City of St. Louis. This is a functioning community center that is surrounded by five apartment complexes that was regularly utilized by children and adults of this community. Without warning children have been turned away from the only community center that was opened to the public, allowing children a safe environment for learning & participating in recreational activities after school and in the summer.
