Lake City May Close Boat Launch

With two other boat launches nearby the 3rd Street boat launch isn’t used nearly as much as it was a decade ago, and now Coeur d’Alene city leaders are considering closing it to make way for a new park. Coeur d’Alene Parks Director Doug Eastwood said a design team has been working on a master plan for this park for nearly six months and now he is ready to reveal it.Under the proposal, McEuen Field would expand from 15 to 20 acres and feature a dog park, playground, splash pad, basketball courts and an ice skating rink. Plans also call to make an wheelchair accessible trail on Tubbs Hill.The master plan also makes downtown Coeur d’Alene more pedestrian friendly/ Annie Bishop , KXLY. More here .

Question: Should the 3rd Street boat launch be closed to expand a new, improved McEuen Field?
