January 10, 1995 Mr. Dick Boots City Hall Paris, Texas 75460 Dear Dick: I am writing this letter in support of making the renovation of Wade Park a priority in the city's master plan. I'm sure your statistics indicate that Wade Park is the most widely utilized park in Paris. As a native of Paris, my family has used the park for the last 30 years for general recreation as well as for special occasions such as birthday parties and family gatherings. (I can even remember when my mother, sisters, brother and I would walk from our house on Culbertson to the wading pool at Wade Park.) As director of the Lamar County Even Start Family Literacy program, we have used the park for family picnics and activities. I was involved with the Jaycees many years ago when they were putting in some of the equipment. Although the park has served many families, the existing equipment is extremely outdated and, in my opinion, several pieces are not safe. Adding play equipment which is developmentally appropriate and actually sectioning off the grounds according to age level would be a wonderful improvement to the park. I would also like to see equipment that could be used by children who are physically challenged. I am most definitely in favor of improving Wade Park to make it more accommodating and accessible to a greater number of people. Its location is good and the setting is nice. I feel this should be an item of high priority for the city, and I would appreciate your consideration of such. If you have questions or if I can be of assistance with this endeavor, please do not hesitate to call on me. ~ Siricer~ely; i'-- Pam Christian, Director Phone (903) 737-4340 • Fax ;9031 737-4.;~~; .
