The level dirt lot is located next to the beach and is now opened primarily on busy summer weekends when the paved parking areas fill up. The Park recognizes the need for a ballfield, and now the members of the community need to let us know if they want to pursue things any further. Brian O'Neill told Otis and Sapanai that among other problems with the site, the Stinson Gulch location would require lengthy environmental review.
People are very excited.
There's parking, water, and toilets nearby. And it's level-graded and drained, so that's nice too. Otis said that if the site is approved, the town would enter a cooperative agreement with the Park Service to use the land, but that the community would have to raise the funds to develop the field. One of the things we don't want to do is cause more traffic problems in the community. But the site is good mainly because not a lot of dirt would have to be moved and it would require minimal grading.
