Postnatal Choir Leader Says Park Fees Are Unfair

A postnatal choir leader has said she is “baffled” by the city’s park fee structure. She leads a choir for women after childbirth, offering a supportive space where new mothers can meet, sing, and recover emotionally and socially. In her comments, she points to a key problem: professional dog walkers appear to pay less than she does for access to the parks. She argues that this pricing difference feels inconsistent, especially because her group is focused on health and community wellbeing. The leader says the fee rules are difficult to understand and may unintentionally limit who can use public green spaces. If the cost is too high for community programs, mothers may find it harder to attend outdoor sessions.
