A road within the park was considered to be undesirable. It was noted that the boundary of Hazelnut Park, adjacent t,1 the Church property, should be corrected (not accurate as shown) and will probably necessitate moving the skating rinks to the . west.. The~.&Q}IJion of the home plate and backstop in the smaller Cummings . Par~~queried. Buckley ~aid this could be re-positioned, if residents have no objection; it WIIS positioned as it is .in order to keep the commotion of home plate away from the residential lots.
