Good
Do you have any comments about the quality and condition of specific recreation facilities? (e.g. Argo Canoe Livery, Farmers Market, Buhr Park Pool, Veterans Ice Arena, Huron Hills Golf Course, etc.)
The one thing I think is shocking is the entrance to Bandamere park off of Main. The road from Main to the parking lot is nearly impossible, and it is dangerous to turn onto Main when exiting due to speeds and lack of visibility. That is a really busy place, it merits some attention.
