THE CORPORATION OF THE REPORT TO COUNCIL
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM
February 24, 1993
TO: B.R. Kirk, City Administrator

FROM: Janna Taylor, Parks & Recreation Director

SUBJECT: McLean Park

Recommendation 1) To build a fourth diamond at McLean Park.

2) That the cost of $10,000 be taken from Park
D.C.C. interest.

Background & Comments

During the past year, PCAAA has approached our department and the Parks
and Recreation Committee to investigate the possibility of building a fourth

diamond at McLean Park. The diamond would be located in the southeast
corner. The diamond would be a small diamond and would be used for the
younger children in baseball and softball. The outfield would be
approximately 170 feet. The cost for the diamond would be $10,000 and this
money would be taken from Park D.C.C. interest.

One of the reasons to construct this diamond is that Minor Softball is growing
rapidly, as is slowpitch. The other reason is that we are losing two diamonds
this season at Viscount Elementary because of the school expansion.

There are sufficient funds
available in the Park D.C.C.
Interest Fund.
