Truck nearly caused an accident with me cutting me off coming into Jefferson and repeatedly brake checking me with nobody in front of him. The car number ID# 5325 and the plate GV1009R.

The lady answering the phones at the Civic Center is very rude. I called at 8:05 am because I had questions about my account and wanted to register my kids for some upcoming sports that they are offering. I was told that I was calling too early and she had only been in the door for 5 minutes. Am I wrong? For one, be prepared to do your job when you walk through the door, I mean you are on the clock and you are being paid for your time. It’s ridiculous. Never tell a customer to call back or give you time. It’s so unprofessional.

$250 per child for football and cheerleading is ridiculous!! they should be ashamed of themselves

So recently decided to move our company and family up to Gainesville. We went to holly park aug 22 2024. And the parks and Rec guys were there. They are some of the rudest people I have met. They blew gravel and dust from the gravel all in my vehicle. Each time we moved with our younger kids in swim suits they would move to our location. I believe there employees need to be investigated. Mind you these are young minors in swim suits. They are out of control. And I know Gainesville won’t do anything about it. But hopefully other tax paying residents will be cautious around these guys. Most definitely already relocating our company. There’s no reason to bring jobs to a city that doesn’t respect its residents.

Chicken bones all over the park, and the bathrooms were locked on a beautiful Sunday, April 28th, 2019. There were many families and only disgusting porta potties 🤮
