Over the last year, the School District and P&R Department have worked together on the following: 1) New preschool rooms and location. 2) Storywalk at Junior Women’s Park. 3) Sharing of equipment. 4) Cooperating on concrete and playground projects. Recently, the school district presented the attached proposal for the City and School District on expanding parking option within the Beecher Park area. While the City and School District are still working on the details of the proposal, in general the School District hopes to add permanent, paved parking on the north side of the football field. For that to occur, the P&R department would have to move two t-ball practice fields to the East of the park. A picture is attached of the proposed, expand parking opportunity at Beecher Park.
