Together they demonstrated and shared in something greater than just building a 1/2 pipe surrounded by chain link fence.
The minutes from the Chesterton Park Departments meeting set a tone and an expectation that no replacement is foreseeable. This speaks to the level of commitment to the many people involved with the original parks planning and execution. Listening to the community and working together to guarantee replacement with an improved facility would send a strong signal to many (primarily the youth) that we are committed to them, their goals & what can be achieved by working together.

I think we owe it to Roy from all of his years served on the Park Board to take a longer look at this situation.
On a side note, my nephew David Potter and his buddies put forward a gargantuan effort to help secure funds for this park through fundraising and I've always considered this place somewhere that was near and dear to my late nephew David.
