MikeK: Keep Legion Field On McEuen

Councilman MikeK: The courts were removed sometime in October/November of 2009. Doug Eastwood had notified the council of this. The plan was to have the courts replaced in a Committee of Nine redo of McEuen Field, but for many reasons that hasn’t ever happened. Courts have been constructed in several places around the city and there wasn’t reason to spend money repairing the McEuen courts if they were going to be replaced in a refurbishment. So there are a lot of tennis options, many more so than 10 years ago. I’m sure the Mayor gave you more insight which I hope you share. I’m on the record supporting keeping the Legion ballfields on McEuen, their historic home. I’ll continue to support that. There are other ways to enhance and give TLC to McEuen (and the Legion field) which is needed, and I think it would be a good use of LCDC redevelopment funds.
