Regional park was THE place to be in the summer. There were four baseball/softball fields with a snack bar/bathroom in the center. We spent most of June evenings at the park watching ball games. Volleyball and Tennis Courts were also part of the landscape. The ramada, that is still standing, had a really nice playground next to it. We brought our girl scouts here when they were ready to "bridge" from Brownies to Girl Scouts. When our oldest daughter turned sixteen, her friends had a little band concert for her in the ramada. The fourth of July celebration took place here also. There were lots of community actiivites that happened at this location.
So why is it now nothing more than a bare patch of land with a few scraggly trees? Before it was a regional park, the soil was contaminated from a previous owner. The city dug down and removed the soil to try and remove the contaminents, but were unsuccessful. So after many years of wonderful summers spent in this place they moved the park East to the other side of the railroad tracks.
Congratulation Progravix on the FTF!!
