This petition is going to serve as the peoples voice for Memorial Park use. By signing this petition, we are saying that we "taxpayers" would like to be able to use Memorial Park in a group setting. Group setting meaning - boot camp. We should be allowed to have an instructor from whatever boot camp lead us through an hour or so of outdoor workouts. Memorial Park currently has only 3 permits for using its park. They will not allow any more permits. Only one of those is a boot camp. We would like to see more permits being issued. We have been to Memorial Park on a daily basis and there is plenty of room for parking and class. At 5am Memorial Park is totally empty, yet boot camps are being denied permits. We are FOR Houston Weight Loss.

Seeing all this movement makes me think about those first mornings when I stood out there in the dark alone while the park was completely silent and empty. It is honestly surreal to see so many people who actually want to get moving in the fresh air instead of being told no by a permit office that keeps the gates locked to us.

As long as you all respect the environment and do not destroy it there should be no problem for a group to go to a park.

THE PARK IS FOR THE PEOPLE. WE PAY TAXES SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE IT FOR CLASSES.

The park is huge at 5am. Why is it even an issue to let people work out there. Its ridiculous.
