In Santa Monica a big debate about the use of parks for exercise is happening.What are your thoughts?

It’s a difficult situation.

Parks are frequently used for marathons, flash mobs, weddings. I just don’t see how a happy medium is going to be achieved.

I do believe that if a personal trainer and the groups of people he/she brings to the park to train damage public property and it results in a costs to the city, some type of fee should be charged simply for maintenance of the grounds.

Tough one.
