Though it has been difficult to obtain an official reason for the upgrade, sources "in the know" have suggested this is directly related to Al being overheard saying "I can't wait for Speedo weather". This comment sent shudders down the spine of all who heard it, or heard of it, and caused quite a stir amongst parents of small children. A rather catty remark regarding "muffin tops" is grinding its way through the rumor mill.
While not denying the allegation, an unnamed city official reportedly explained that the city was powerless to regulate male swimwear, even in a City park. In fact, unless Al appears with "man-boobs" or stark naked there is absolutely nothing the city can do. Consequently a substantial structure is required as a "swimsuit cover up". And make no mistake about it, the City is committed to THIS park.
As for Al, he will neither confirm nor deny that he owns or would wear a Speedo, but did observe that "every day I wake up Al's Park just gets better and I can't wait to see what's next."
