We oppose the scope of the proposed $43-million, 25-acre, all-in-one sports park with extensive athletic and active recreational facilities at the location next to Wright’s Field Ecological Preserve off South Grade Road.
We recognize there are too many serious concerns and unanswered questions regarding the current park design to justify proceeding as proposed.
We support developing a smaller, nature-based passive park at the location. A park that minimizes the impact on the environment and rural setting, provides appropriate recreational activities that respect and complement the preserve, and protects the preserve from habitat destruction due to fragmentation, encroachment, and overflow use from a park.
We support developing other existing or new sites for active sports facilities, thus creating a network of local Alpine parks that offer unique recreational activities throughout town connected by a system of safe walkways, bike paths, and trails.
