These classes provide us with the opportunity to maintain our overall well being by losing weight, increasing energy and strengthening our whole body through exercise. It also provides fellowship. The classes are held daily from 8:00 a.m.- 9:00 a.m. Monday thru Thursday and on Friday 8:00 a.m.- 9:30 a.m. A parking lot is available on site, which is convenient and also helpful for those with a disability. Although many seniors have handicap placards, many seniors do not and run the risk of being cited if they pass the two hours allowed on parking meters. Such was the case for several of us senior citizens, while we understand we must abide by the rules, we believe this is one rule that needs to be changed. We cannot comfortably attend class without having to remember to walk out before the class has ended to go and check the meter. This defeats the purpose of trying to maintain good health. This does not only affect senior citizens who, have been ticketed, but all other seniors participating in classes at the Norman Park Center. We believe these meters should be removed. Seniors should be exempted from these meters during the hours of 8:OOa.m. - 5:00 p.m. A special sticker could be assigned to seniors attending programs at The Norman Park Senior Center, which would allow us to park without worrying about a parking meter. Thank you for your support in this matter.
