I did come up with one place to cut the Parks budget in order to pay for our extravagant wading pools.
Get rid of the lifeguards at the beaches on the lakes. Their only purpose seems to be to shout at anyone brazen enough to bring some sort of floatation device into the water. Get rid of the lifeguards, get rid of the other silly rules about what you can and cannot do in the water, invest in some "Swim at your own risk" signs, and I'll bet you'd save enough to keep the pools open AND have funds left over to cover other proposed cuts.
