thn voters, could be put to use in a most apprarriate way: the park, as its
property lines stand now, has Alms to the Roaring Fora river only on akinfinitely
snall scale. It tOuKes the river at a pointo only. On tho Other hand a cartair,
Dr* POOVOP owns a triangular qece of •royerty almost entirely onclosed by the
Garrish rark. it SOWS to 00 dountfal for a ouildino to be Constructed on that
site ( lack of access; . To this present owner the property might be of little
real estate value. However, the city should negotiate its purchase. That way
the first stop (aside from _error park) to it surs a green belt along the river
would oe taken. In terms of Garrish park: the relatiyoly stcarlbanhlriver would
require the installation of a trail to the water, probably -ith half links of
railroad ties. But foremost I PrOTOse to lot older hi6s' use this area as a so-called
Robinson Grasoe play area. Come strong cottonwood trees, dead tree trunks, relatively

in conclusion we see two main thrusts for the establishment of this Gariish

secondly, the acquisition of a c6rtain
