Seeing this momentum grow is exhausting but it reminds me why we started this fight in the first place. The city has ignored this building for too long and this progress proves they cannot keep looking the other way.

Rec centers in Frogtown are more heavily used by neighborhood children. At the West Minnehaha Rec Center, children are literally shoulder-to-shoulder at times, in the tiny playground equipment area. Improvements to Scheffer are LONG overdue.
I remember 35 years ago when we upgraded from wooden play structures to the current playground... Same building since I was a preschooler over 35 years ago... Same Sheffer my 20 year old played at... Frogtown is LONG over due for a recreation center upgrade. Our children deserve quality pig

Why is the rec center in need of most repair also in the poorest neighborhood? Our kids deserve a quality place to play, too. Please invest!
Our children deserve a quality, modern space.The city should be ashamed of this recreation center.
I totally agree that this rec needs a makeover. maybe similar improvements can be made as the phalen rec
Our children deserve a quality space for their health and well being.

Scheffer rec center is a heavily used facility that has been passed over for funding for improvements numerous times. The kids who use it NEED it because for many it is their primary place to spend time when they are not in school. Let's show these kids that Saint Paul cares about them!
