PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
The regular meeting of the Orono Park Commission was held on November
3 , 1981 .
The following members were present: ATTENDANCE
Chairman Tomlinson, Stinson, Watson
Sweatt, Kelley. Present also was
Councilmember Mary Butler.
There was a discussion on what kind of parks PARKS
people are looking for. The consensus is;
not the slick, developed kind, but casual
like Hackberry and Summit Park, with parking
space and picnic tables. There is $130 , 000
in the park development fund. Orono has 3 to
5 acre zoning which means a continual very
slow growth for this area. We discussed
perhaps havinq a 5 year development plan.
The Park Commission expressed concern about
the F`orest Lake Public Area. Highwood Park
has 7 acres with chipped wood paths meandering
through. There is minimum maintenance now and
it could stand some attention. There is a need
for a gradual development.
The meeting was adjourned at 7 :55 P.M. ADJOURNMENT
Respectfully submitted,
