Single-day fees have been $3 for swimming and $2 for ice-skate rentals for several years, according to the center’s website.
Raise the price for ice-skates to $3 as well. The ice rink is expensive to maintain and would still be a bargain at $3 for its use.

Honestly, the Jones Center is loosing their people! Bernice Jones wanted to give out to their community and this is what you guys do? This is a sign of DISRESPECT for his wishes! He created this place, keep it the way he had it in the first place! Build your own damn center for people to use the gym, ice skating rink, and swimming and pay for it! He wanted the Jones Center as a free gift to the community! KEEP IT THAT WAY!
