Tinley Park-Park District Preschool Parking Nightmare

Hello parents and residents,  I am writing to complain about the parking, and the jungle gym being taken away from the preschool. The main issue I have and all the other parents can agree with me is the parking. I have a 2 year old and a 5year old. It is horrible that I now have to park by the basketball hoops sometimes farther! Especially with winter coming this will be awful having to truck 2 kids through the freezing temperatures and snow. We were never given any information nor it seems no one cared about how it would affect the preschool program. We spent a lot of money to take our kids to a good school with great teachers. But if we don't come with some resolution I can say I will not be taking my youngest there next year. As a lot of the other parents too. I would love to see a pick up drop off lane happen. Majority of preschools have them and I don't understand why it can't happen for us! Also know the jungle gym being used as a daycare is upsetting. Does not make sense to take that over when it is not near the new gym. Why couldn't they built a room for the child care near their front desk? Makes more sense. The tinley park park district did not put any thought or care about our children and I along with other parents are very disapointed and upset!! I hope we can come to a resolution before the brutal winter comes!
