Trampoline Park
Have you ever wanted to jump 20 to 40 feet in the air,
ride on a zipline,take a pic, play basketball on a tram-
poline, play on a Skyline, or play in a jungle gym that
has slides? What about little punching bags, tightropes,
big bumps, and swerves? Maybe we need a trampoline
park in John Day.
First, Some people in John Day might not agree with
this because I’m putting it in the old bowling alley but
you could have lunch, bowl jump , run, play, and rough
House. How do you rough house? you ask. We have
these huge foam pits and ball pits where you can tackle
your friends and then you could laugh at them and you
can hang over them on the monkey bars. But be careful
because your friends can grab you off the monkey bars
and they can sink you to the bottom of the The ball pit
or the foam pit.
Second, If you get hungry you can go to one of the
food stands. The food we have is burritos, tacos ,ham-
burgers,ice cream,dippin dots,bubblegum and pizza.If
you want all the desserts you have to go upstairs be-
cause the Stans are two stories. If you are ordering and
you look behind you there are tables that you can eat at.
Third, The skyline is where you Ride on that little
zipline thing all around the trampoline park. There’s one
spot where you might get stuck but if it does happen
you can detach yourself from the skyline and fall into a
foam pit . The people that work there will move .The zip
line back where it belongs. If you make a mess at the
table we will clean it up but if you take your food over to
the play place and you make a mess you have to clean
it up. But you cannot take your food anywhere else oth-
er than the tables and the play Park just cuz it’s more
solid than anything else.
In conclusion, these are my ideas for the trampoline
park. If you want a trampoline park, you should write a
letter to the mirror or the city.

get sleepy and go to bed at night. If not, they’ll get
sleepy during the day, and get so grumpy that they will
go back to sleep.
Second, kids need to have fun so they will be tired
and they will go to sleep. If not, they will be bored. A
trampoline park can get kids to sleep because they
have so much energy that their bodys are getting exer-
cise. They all need sleep to be energetic in the morning
to go to the trampoline park.
Third, kids need to play with friends. They can play
and have fun. Kids need freedom and fun to play with
friends. At a trampoline park you can see friends and
play games like trampoline tag, dodgeball and follow
the leader. All of these games can bring people togeth-
er.
What can kids do? They can have a fundraiser for a
trampoline park for kids in many different ways. They
can do a fundraiser, a charity. They can save money,
savings. They can do it if they work together.

Grant County Needs a Pool
Do you remember the days when Gleason Pool was
open, where people could have lots of fun.I do if we
brought it back we could all have fun again it would be a
nice place to cool down and if we get the pool back we
could also get the swim team back.
First, If we get the pool back it would be fun for all
the kids and it would be a place for the parents to hang
out and a lot of entertainment for the kids.It would be
fun because you can swim a lot. A pool would be enter-
taining for the parents because they can talk with each
other
Second, If we got the pool back it would be a great
place to cool down because not everyone has their own
pool to swim or play in.it would be a good place to hang
out with friends on a hot day.Some people might go to a
river.But not all people can get to one.
Third,if we get the pool back, we can also get the
swim team back. That is a fun sport that kids like to do
to stay active in the summer. Swim team is important
because kids have the chance to make friends.
In Conclusion, to get the pool back you can talk to
your mayor or city council or post your thoughts in the
newspaper. If you have one maybe you could write let-
ters stating your ideas.

Trampoline Park Indoors
Have you ever wondered why kids don’t go to bed
at night? Well,you need to go to the trampoline park to
wear out your kids. Kids need to get out their energy.
Kids need to have fun.
First, kids need to get out their energy so they can
are always in the water. The ladders are also not so
sturdy and you can fall and hit your head.
People should vote for a pool so we can have fun and
a swim team during the summer.This is why we need a
place for swimming and a swim team for fun, exercise,
and sports. We need a pool!!!
___________________________________________
Do you ever wish that there were more family fun ac-
tivities around here or something fun to do in the winter
here in John Day and Canyon City? Well this is why we
need a bowling alley. There could be different foods to
eat, something for kids to do, and a place to go in winter
when it is cold outside.
First, in the winter there is nothing to do. If we go to
the park all the equipment will be wet and it will be cold.
Also at home when you play outside sure it’s fun for a
while, but then you get cold and you go inside. Then
once you take all your snow clothes off they are wet.
This is the first reason why we need a bowling alley.
Second, we all love restaurant food. In a restaurant
you order food but then you have to wait and wait and
wait, there is nothing to do. Maybe grown-ups have stuff
to talk about but what about kids? With a bowling alley
we can order food and still play while we wait. Then
before you know it your food will be here. This is the
second reason for a bowling alley
Third, kids need to play. Parks are fun but we need
something new to do. A bowling alley will do the job. It
will be fun and entertaining for everyone, even grown-
ups. It will be a place for family and friends to hang out
and have fun. This is the most important reason why we
should have a bowling alley.
So what can we do to get a bowling alley? Many
things, like writing to the mayor or sending a letter to the
Blue Mountain Eagle. If we work together the children,
their friends, and our families will have a place to hang
out and have fun. This is why we need a bowling alley!

POOL
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you
could not swim? Well, that’s what it’s like for everyone
in Grant County. We Need a pool.
First, at a pool we can have fun with friends and fam-
ily. We need somewhere to swim so we don’t have to
drive a long distance.
Second, at that pool we also had a swim team, which
for me and my sister it was the main thing we did during
the summer. We went to Prineville, Burns, Lakeveiw,
and sometimes Pendleton for swim meets. We also had
swim meets here in John Day.
Third, the Gleason Pool is pretty old. The paint chips

Grant County Needs a Swimming
Pool
Remember the days the Gleason Pool was open?
We need a Grant County swimming pool. We would be
able to get together more. We would have lots more fun
instead of swimming in our own pool. Also, it would be
easier to get together with besties you have not seen in
a long time. We also can get the swim team back.
First, everyone in Grant County needs to have fun
even if some people are small or tall. When the Gleason
Pool was open almost all the people went there to have
fun. For example,when people went to play at the pool it
was because they were bored at their house. We need
the pool open so that people can have the most fun they
ever had in their entire life.
Second, most people need to get out to have a swim
to see family members they have not seen in a while.
We also need to see friends that we can only see at
school. Also, sometimes people and their family just
need to cool off. When people want to see family mem-
bers they just need to go to the pool if it was open.
Third, most of the people here in Grant County were
on the swim team. So if we get the Gleason Pool back
we can also get the best swim team back!! Most of the
people just like to watch the swim team go up in com-
petitions to win every single one of them. So you know
what if we get the pool open we can have swim team
try-outs!!! We really need to get the pool open so we
can have the best swim team back up and winning ev-
ery single competition.
What can we do to get the Gleason Pool back up?
You can write to the mayor or you can write a letter to
the Blue Mountain Eagle newspaper. If everyone joins
together then we can convince the mayor to make the
people you bought the pool open the pool back up. So
with this information I hope that you either write to the
mayor or write to the Blue Mountain Eagle.
Please, we all need the public pool to be open in the
summer or we will all be dying of hotness in the summer
without it.

Why We Need a Petting Zoo
When was the last time you were at a petting zoo,
where you could love animals? Well I think we need one
in John Day Oregon, so we can enjoy nature and have
fun with animals .Have you ever felt like you could not
love on other animals?. We need a petting zoo because
people need to have lots of fun with animals and maybe
feed them and play with them
First, people need to have fun with animals because
maybe you like elephants and you can’t own your own
elephants. so If we have a petting zoo you can pet what-
ever animals. Don’t you get the point?
Second, enjoy animals and laugh with them because
you can go enjoy nature with your family and enjoy
learning new things about animals and laugh with the
wild animals. you get the point?
Third, you can play with animals and feed them be-
cause if you are sad then you can play with them.It will
make your day. If you bring food then you can enjoy
feeding the animals.
Conclusion, if you love the zoo then you will love this.
If you love the zoo and the zoo is too far away and you
live in John Day, then we should have a petting zoo
somewhere in john Day because We have somewhat
room in John day.
