From:Teri Pantzke <br />To:Dustin Rief <br />Subject:Fwd: Summit Beach Park <br />Date:Sunday, July 26, 2020 4:52:11 PM <br />---------- Forwarded message --------- <br />From: Teri Pantzke <tlpantzke@gmail.com> <br />Date: Sun, Jul 26, 2020 at 3:52 PM <br />Subject: Summit Beach Park <br />To: <acarlson@ci.orono.mn.us>, <dreif@ci.orono.mn.us> <br />Anna and Dustin, <br />Please include this note for the council meeting on Monday evening. <br />Just a note to tell you about my experiences at Summit Beach Park. I have been coming to <br />this delightful beach for many years and although I no longer live in the area does not <br />diminish my desire to go to that beautiful beach. I go at least every Saturday or Sunday and <br />sometimes both. I enjoy seeing the same people week after week having picnics or just <br />enjoying their day. When I ask my granddaughters which beach they want to go to, it is <br />always Summit Beach Park. <br />It has everything I could ask for in a beach; great swimming, floating on the lake, sitting in the <br />shade from beautiful mature trees, sand where one can build a sand castle, trees to hang a <br />hammock on and read a book while enjoying the children's laughter. And of course, the <br />awesome rope swing. <br />Please keep Summit Beach Park a public park, do not turn it into a private club; which does <br />not coincide with the original intent of the land that was donated for use as a public park. <br />To quote Dennis Walsh, "Preserving and maintaining Orono's open space is a priority that we <br />cannot afford not to protect and keep maintained, because once you lose it you will never get it <br />back." <br />Sincerely, <br />Teri Pantzke <br />3407 Harriet Avenue S. #7 <br />Minneapolis, MN 55408 <br />612-868-55
