A postnatal choir leader says she is “baffled” by how park fees are set. She runs a choir for new mothers, helping them connect and feel supported after having a baby. In her complaint, she says professional dog walkers pay lower fees to use the city’s parks. She, and other community groups, must pay more. She believes the system does not make sense and may discourage families from using public spaces. The choir leader is asking for clearer rules and fairer pricing. She wants the city to explain why the fee structure is different for dog walkers and for people running community activities. Her goal is to make it easier for mothers to meet outdoors safely and regularly.
