“FYI – At last week’s Park Commission meeting I informed the Commission of the possible location the city had for Ballfields (Empire Lakes) Southwest corner. The commission appreciate’ s council due diligence in recognizing “Sports Fields” are needed in our community per the Parks Master Plan. However, not at Empire Lakes, under the Parks Master Plan it is designated Natural Park, not Sports Park. Thus, they would like the opportunity to further look at other possible sites for a Sports Park, if given the opportunity.”
