Subject:Mitchell Park Proposal
Greetings All!
I am very concerned about the proposed pickle ball courts in Mitchell park that will violate the historic square wrapping
around the gazebo. I traveled today to French, Laguna, Islay and Emerson parks and all have sufficient parking and
space to accommodate many such courts.
The site suggested mirrors a proposal of 15 years ago when the barbecue complex was to be moved to accommodate a
drive way for the Senior center...Jan will remember. Neighbors and folks from all over the city jammed city hall and the
overflow room to save the integrity of the “square”...I believe strongly that historically beautiful sites in the city must be
treasured and preserved. This proposal is an affront to both notions.
I understand that parks should be dynamic, but to suggest that this intrusion is appropriate is myopic in vision.
Sincerely,
Stephan R Lamb
