Parent says she will not allow children to use complex without inspection reports

August 17, 2026

Summary

A parent said she could not confidently say the facility was safe for children and asked for reports; staff said the concrete issues were non-structural and covered by an extended warranty but did not present a final engineering report in the discussion.

A parent asked whether anyone could currently say with confidence that the facility was safe for children to enter, saying she would not feel comfortable sending her own small children without seeing the reports. "Is there any possible way that I can fully with confidence say that the facility is safe for kids to enter?" she asked.

A staff member responded that some concrete did not meet contract specifications but characterized the problem as non-structural and therefore not a safety concern. "But, it's not a safety concern because it's not structural," the staff member said. The staff member also said a geotechnical firm extended the field warranty to replace any future concrete failures at no cost, though the transcript records inconsistent warranty-year figures.

The parent raised concerns that parking-lot issues might be difficult to attribute to a specific party and signaled that unresolved issues could lead to legal discussion before a final transfer of the facility. The transcript does not show a final decision on opening; the parent requested inspection reports and expressed reluctance to allow children to use the complex in their absence.
