Part of the story here is that this ALSO moves the maintenance cost for these facilities out of Public Works and into Parks.
I think this is unfortunate, because Public Works is rate-supported, and Parks is tax-supported. The City can raise the rates, but only voters can raise the tax. The net effect is that Parks will have a little less money to do other things with.
It may still be a net benefit. But it comes at a price.
