It has come to our attention through a knowledgeable source that the softball field at Cambier Park may be at risk for dismantling.
The City of Naples has hired a consultant, David Barth of Gainesville, to create a master plan for all the city parks. A survey will be delivered at random to several hundred residents living within the City of Naples limits to gather pertinent information on the current uses of and desired wishes for our City parks. Based on results of the survey and recommendations of the consultant, one unfavorable outcome, previously discussed, could be the removal of the softball field at Camber Park.
This proposal should arouse significant community opposition, as there is history and legacy in the field, as proven by the many banners hanging in the outfield.
It would be a terrible decision to demolish the Cambier Park softball field. The continuation of a successful softball tradition in Naples requires an adequate playing facility and the Cambier Park field has been proudly preserved and enhanced for many years by the Naples Girls Softball Little League organization, players and families.
This petition draws notice to all concerned community members who have appreciated our local softball history and to all who wish for the continued success of youth softball, which relies on the accessibility and availability of a dedicated field to these children.
We, the undersigned, call on the Naples City Council to eliminate any plans, that may be suggested through analysis of the City of Naples resident survey and consultant recommendations, to demolish the Cambier Park Softball Field.
We strongly request the Softball Field of Cambier Park remain as it stands, a cherished memory for many players and families, a quality facility for existing and future softball players and an attractive, active use of green space for all community park visitors.
