an architectural firm to help them designhired
the
waterpark for Sun Valley Park. Janna Taylor went,
over the
attached diagrams to indicate the
possible location for the waterpark.
you can
see from Drawing No. 2 the p-,rk would Asbe located
to the east and south of the change facilities.
The rationale for this would be that during the
summer months the park is only usable for water
play and in the winter, it would not be usable.
It was felt that there was a need to keep the
existing playground for year round use. The
location for the waterpark would
indicate that one
small mini soccer field would have
to be removed;
however& it was noted that this particular field
was not used at this time. Another location could
be found for a mini soccer field if required. The
Kinsmen will raise the money to build the park and
the City will construct the park.

Repres ntatives

in attendance to meet with the
Committee were Mrs. Norris, a resident
from the
area, Bill Murray and Bill Herbert from the
PoCo
Slowpitch League.
Mrs. Norris indicated to the
Committee that she felt that
adult leagues
were causing a major problem atthe the
park and,
furthermore, non-scheduled teams were also
g
the park and creating much noise during usin
the
weekends. She was of the opinion that adult
play
should not occur

at all on the
diamonds.
also felt that the City ball
should
the parks. Bill Murt'ay indicat,ed that they patrol
would
be prepared to give two people's names as
contacts
in case of problems and that these phone numbers
could be given to the aldermen
Mrs. Norris.
Bill indicated that they needed theandextra
diamonds
and that they did not have sufficient diamonds
for
their league. Janna Taylor indioated that this
particular
was
initially intended for
children's usepark
and not adult use. The only reason
adult use was allowed there was due to the
shortage of ball diamonds;
that more ball
diaraonds were in existence now
it
was
hope of
the department to remove adult play the
altogether
from these diamonds.
Allderman Laking indicated
that he would be speaking
with the Principal of
Viscount Alexander to find out
his concerns.
Alderman Laking told the delegation
that. they

Sun Valley Proposed Waterpark Location

shown on first drawing:

East side of pool building approximately 8,400 sq.ft.
West side of pool area is approximately. 3,000 sq.ft.
Play area including fire truck HI100 sq.ft.
For the proposed water
we need approximately 10,000
sq.ft. according to the playground
consultant. As we can see, this would
fit perfectly in the area presently occupied by our regular playground.
However, taking out playground equipment which can be used twelve
months of the year and replacing it with water play equipment.
vhich is only +/- three months a year, noes not make sense.
Besides that, approximate cost to relocate most of the dry playground equipment within the park, including preparation of a
base is around $ 11,000.
Another idea, as shown on the second draving, is to eliminate
one mini soccer field as it is hardly used, which gives us lots
of room and would not obstruct baseballI soccer or any pool
business.
