In mid-December, the ad hoc committee monitoring the reconfiguration of the golf course and maintenance of some passive space to serve Skinker DeBaliviere residents, met with Dan McGuire, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry. McGuire showed the group preliminary drawings that include some passive space along what is DesPeres south of Lindell. McGuire spent two hours with the group, answering questions.
After a new lease is negotiated with Triple A for the golf course, final drawings will be made. McGuire assured a committee representative that this passive or buffer area could have a drinking fountain and water available for plantings. Lana Stein, chair of the committee, will let members know when further drawings are available.
She suggested to the committee that it focus on park areas that have not been addressed by the master plan. such as land along DeBaliviere between Lindell and the Forest Park Parkway.
In addition, the committee could address the design of the park eventually to be built on Nina Place by the intersection of Kingsbury and Hamilton and focus on a possible plan to enhance Lucier Park.
