<br />. \:- <br />. . <br /> <br /> <br />....-.. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />January 10, 1995 <br /> <br />Mr. Dick Boots <br />City Hall <br />Paris, Texas 75460 <br /> <br />Dear Dick: <br /> <br />I am writing this letter in support of making the renovation of Wade Park a priority in the <br />city's master plan. I'm sure your statistics indicate that Wade Park is the most widely <br />utilized park in Paris. As a native of Paris, my family has used the park for the last 30 <br />years for general recreation as well as for special occasions such as birthday panies and <br />family gatherings. (I can even remember when my mother, sisters, brother and I would <br />walk from our house on Culbertson to the wading pool at Wade Park.) As director of the <br />Lamar County Even Start Family Literacy program. we have used the park for family <br />picnics and activities. <br /> <br />I was involved with the Jaycees many years ago when they were putting in some of the <br />equipment. Although the park has served many families, the existing equipment is <br />extremely outdated and. in my opinion, several pieces are not safe. Adding play <br />equipment which is developmentally appropriate and actually sectioning off the grounds <br />according to age level would be a wonderful improvement to the park. I would also like <br />to see equipment that could be used by children who are physically challenged. <br /> <br />I am most definitely in favor of improving Wade Park to make it more accommodating <br />and accessible to a greater number of people. Its location is good and the setting is nice. <br />I fee! this should be an item of high priority for the city, and I would appreciate your <br />consideration of such. <br /> <br />If you have questions or if I can be of assistance with this endeavor. please do not hesitate <br />to call on me. <br /> <br />StffC/et:e!)t" I( . <br />.
