Thanks! Our city's system is the same as Kim's in Seattle. Must be cultural. I don't see people working out in parks; instead they go to gyms or community center buildings to work out.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498016.post-3732520855248754212008-09-16T01:03:00.000+10:002008-09-16T01:03:00.000+10:00I enjoyed this series of shots.

Here if the trainer has a class through the parks and recreation department there might be a fee, but ANYONE can use park space for exercise. We have freedom of assembly, and unless its a very large group who might monopolize the park space, no permit or license would be required. If someone wanted to use the sports fields regularly they would have to book the space in advance with the parks department and there might be a use fee involved, but not for trainers who show up with a few clients and exercise for an hour.
