A social media flap is exposing ongoing tensions over how the public and the public schools can share use of Hanes Park, one of the cityâs prime recreational areas.
And folks are wondering how much may change this fall when new signs are put up outlining when the schools have use of the track and other park facilities.
When a school official was quoted in a recent Journal story as saying that the track and nearby fields at Hanes Park could be generally tied up from 2:30 to 7 p.m. for school use, that provoked outrage on social media from some who described the schools as trying to take over the park.
