The local paper, the Tribune-Review, reports that many of the 60 residents attending the meeting favored leaving the area as it is, but perhaps with some enhancements. The chief concern was traffic the new park would generate.

Vince Rozzi, landscape architect, presented preliminary designs for the recreational park. Ideas include an outdoor pool, a soccer practice field, walking and biking trails, tennis courts and picnic pavilions. Also suggested was an indoor rec center with basketball courts, fitness rooms and a teen center. One resident was quoted as saying the new park was not needed because people use nearby fields for soccer, biking, hiking and horseback riding.
