Re: Park Board Meeting Cancelled.
Due to a lack of agenda items in need of immediate attention, the September 9th Park Board
meeting is cancelled.
As a reminder, one date to mark on your calendar is the Grand Opening celebration of the YMCA
Tri -City Skate Park, which is Saturday, October 4, 2003, at noon (see enclosed brochure).
Hopefully construction will be complete in time to open the skate park to the public on October I";
however, the ceremonial grand opening will remain on October 4th
The Grand Opening celebration of Edinborough Park's Adventure Peak playground structure was
a big hit. Big thanks to George Klus and Linda Presthus for attending the Grand Opening.
Another big thanks to the Park Board playground selection committee who chose the best vendor
and best playground plan. The volunteers were Linda Presthus, Mike Damman, and Dave
Fredlund.
Due to the Garden Park neighborhood's overwhelming negative response to the Park & Ride
proposal, the issue will not be on the City Council agenda for at least another three to four months
until Metro Transit has had time to further evaluate alternatives.
The City Council accepted the Park Board's recommendation to rename the section of Braemar
Boulevard, "Hilary Lane." I'll let you know when the dedication will take place at Braemar.
Lastly, at their regular Council meeting on September 16`h, the City Council will be discussing the
Park Board's recommendations submitted by the Facilities Study Committee.
