Sometimes its neccessary, but should be exception.
If there is public use of a park, dont give it away.

Specifically, I asked about the Lake Banook clubs (and also asked for data i.e. amounts, and source info), but that’s fine - it’s no longer important to the discussion. Hundreds of thousands seems like a lot of money. I wonder what they used it for and what was the rationale offered by the (federal? provincial? municipal?) government for giving public money to a private club? We don’t need to know the details because obviously it’s bad.
It seems like you are steamed over the use of the playground for aquatic competitions. Fair enough. I think it’s reasonable if it’s temporary, but that’s just my opinion.
I thought you were upset about the boating clubs commandeering (purchasing?) the land they are on 120 years ago. Thanks for clearing that up.
