CouncihDan Meyers woadere4 1f this was the wrong place for a very rural
type park. . The Parks D1~tor said we need sO!:lething to draw the people

up to Linda Vista Park. ~e will be having shetl~~d pony rides in the
southeast portion of the park. Until it is developed, Councilman Meyers
would like to see this palL used on weekends fer horseback riding.
Ceuncil.t1an Sparks asked what ",ou1d happen if a child were hurt while
on the property. T~e Par~s Director said we are insured againat this,
The Director of Public ~crks said the plan is to bring the Parks an¿
Recreation offices do,~ ro this park. To have so~~c~e on the property
