Hi Justin, I hope you are doing well. I have been attending the few classes offered at the Belle Haven Community Campus for working adults like myself, and I have noticed that the ones accessible to working adults fill up quickly—even without much promotion. It took seven months for the Department ...
Dear Menlo Park City Council. I write in deep concern of the Menlo Park Pools, Belle Haven and Burgess. I have been swimming at Burgess Pool for nearly 20 years. I have known Tim Sheeper for over 35 years as a coach and friend. I have attended an aquatics meeting held at Burgess to support the ...

Hi, Council You are right to reconsider the contract for Tim Sheeper to continue to operate all Menlo Park aquatic programs. As a regular user of Burgess Pool, I have found operations there to be exemplary but as a Belle Haven resident I know that the pool over here has always been treated lik...
Betsy Nash and Ceceila Taylor, and other city council members, I am a 20+ year Menlo Park resident and have been swimming at the Menlo Park pool for more than 25 years. I mean no disrespect but when the city was running the pool, the programs were inferior to what we have enjoyed for ~17 yea...
