I TO: Parks & Recreation Committee FROM: Kim Stephan DATE: November 19, 2010 SUBJECT: Sand Volley Ball Court Research Mr. Palzer has suggested the committee consider turning the pleasure rink area into a sand volley ball court instead of the site originally chosen for the court. The pleasure rink is not used very much, it is close to the picnic tables, the parking lot and the other amenities the park has to offer and it is always wet in the summer. Two full size courts would fit in this location and there would be the option to still use the site as an ice rink if it were designed for this purpose. This would also leave the site originally chosen open to further expand the � soccer field into a full size field which will be possible with Centennial Little League moving the fence in for ' field 1. i Mr. Panl Palzer, Public Works Director supplied the committee with the following information.
