Before I forget, for those Brooklyn Park residents feeling the pinch, don't sweat it, there's fee assistance and scholarships that could slash those activity costs by up to 75%, all hinging on income and household size, and if you're curious about the specifics of who qualifies for what, just a quick detour to their website will lay it all out in black and white, because, let's be real everybody should get a slice of the summer fun, no matter the size of their wallet.
