PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS Sherokee Ilse informed the Council that the Park Commission, while not recommending a specific access location for Saga Hill, would request that the access not bisect the park when determining the access for the lots to the north and south of the park land. The Park Commission is interested in a trail connection between Wood Rill, the natural and scientific park land recently donated by Bruce Dayton, and Wolsfeld Woods. Ilse said they would recommend a walking/bike path at the proposed Spring Hill Golf Course. The Park Commission is currently making recommendations for park improvements at Antoine Park to include new play ground equipment. Ilse noted that the park inventory is near completion. r� LJ 4
