Park as the ice arena site,” said Edith Kawinsky, daughter - of the properly donator, ‘but : - there isn’t a city in the world that doesn’t wish it had more downtown park area.. If we don't-hold on to this land now there isn't another benefactor who will donate downtown property for park purposes..,it is far too precious to give away. Mrs. Kawinsky continued, “I guess it wouldn't be the end-of the world if the upper part of Little Park was used for the arena but Terrace citizens should demand ‘a written promise that the lower portion of the site will never be used as a cemented parking: lot. Parking facilities are not going to be adequate’ in the future when the Council members ~ have changed...even five years from now verbal assurances from the present council about retaining ‘the lower half of the park as a green area might not be honored.” | Mrs: Kawinsky emphatically concluded that she hoped it wasn't too late for an alternate De: FOUN f B; yt-on the’ other side.of the fence.

No matter where the complex is to. be kicated there . “will be some opposition. This-is natural and I gitiess, not unexpected But what are the alternatives? They include Christie Park, Riverside Park, ’ Rotary Park and North Thomas * Property that- was considered earlier for the arena.

Parcels of land of that size would probably only be available in the outskirts of the Municipality ‘or . in. ‘the .

'“Phe Municipality of Terrace ‘already owns a. parking lot within 1 block of Upper Little Park. That.is-the Emersoi Street lot. Surely in the .1-20 years that it will “take to complete’ the recreation complex; the Municipality. will have established other parking lots nearby. In any . case, private parking lots will be available within a.3 to 4. block ‘walking distance. Knowing the park sites that are available and appreciating the fact that the Municipality probably dees not have the fund ‘for: purchasing large parcels of property, the selection of Upper Little Park for the site of the - proposed recreation complex is a.good selection under the circumstances,” Dr. Roy Walker with roadrunners The supervisors of the Terrace Centennial Roadrunners certainly believe in the old adage that ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of. cure’ especially when it comes to the ‘physical. fitness and safekeeping of their sixty four runners.
