It's only Black kids, so it's not important," Bentley said of the board's attitude. "It makes no sense to rent gyms when the district could use those in closed school buildings. "When I asked why not in the Hill District where if kids don't learn to swim early they never will, I was told "because there isn't a pool,'" [Mark Brentley Sr.] said. "I said that's because you closed the only pool. Why mistreat this community by riding kids past Milliones, which could handle the activity for all the Hill schools." "We have to step back and admit this plan is flawed," said Brentley. "It is costing millions. It's unfair and it's intentional."

More importantly, for years, runners and walkers have exercised there, often with their children walking, biking or roller-blading along.

It's been a great place for little ones to learn to love physical activity with their families. Cer...
