A neighborhood park <br />calls for open fields and future bail diamonds. The next largest <br />neighborhood park is Hackberry whicn is classified to provide <br />field soccer and play grounds. Bradley said that Hackberry <br />has two T-Bali fields tnat are heavily used. Casco Point Skating <br />Rink is the third largest neighborhood park. Bradley felt t.hat <br />only Bederwood Park is available for general public activities. <br />Mr. Bradley stated that the Superintendent of Schools had <br />indicated that t.hey could respond to a proposal from CBA to use <br />the undeveloped sc.hooi property within 6-12 months. The <br />Superintendent stated that they would actively pursue any <br />application made by '^BA to use the existing site on the school <br />campus. Bradley said, "The Park Commission supports the idea of <br />organised sports as part of the Comni’.hity picture. We support <br />the concept of neighborhood parks, also have concern for <br />residential zoning and the potential ng an incompatible use <br />into a neighborhood. This is the fi.- «e the Park Commission <br />has dealt with a controversy regardir., ..*6 use of a park. We <br />urge the City to consider our reguest to give us arf updated Park <br />Plan. In the interim, it would seem appropriate to consider a <br />ahort term usage of Bederwood Park for organized sports while <br />other options are pursued." <br />- 4 -
