<br />- <br /> <br />City of La Porte Parhs &c Open Space Master Plan <br /> <br />relieve the pressure on Fairmont Park caused by noise and light pollution and <br />overcrowded parking for the baseball fields. It is planned for some of those <br />fields to remain as practice fields for the La Porte Boy's Baseball Association. <br /> <br />West Side Park Property <br /> <br />The 33 acre West side park property design is substantially complete. The <br />City of La Porte is in the process of pre-qualifying potential contractors for this <br />new regional park. The new park, located on Canada Road between Spencer <br />and Fairmont Parkway will be developed with amenities that are projected to <br />serve the entire City of La Porte. The park design will feature a lake that can <br />be used for canoes, kayaks, miniature radio controlled boats, fishing, and <br />other water-based activities, although swimming will not be allowed. The park <br />will also feature a small outdoor amphitheater for summer performances of <br />local talent, church groups, dog shows, etc. The amphitheater will double as a <br />picnic pavilion that is available for family reunions, church socials, and other <br />group activities. There will be individual picnic areas in the park for small <br />family groups to gather. The park will also feature a bicycle-pedestrian path <br />around the perimeter to allow for exercise and access to the passive <br />recreation activities and scenic vistas of the park. The park construction is <br />scheduled to be completed by the end of 2008. <br /> <br />Summary <br /> <br />With the addition of two new parks and another on the way, the park inventory <br />will have increased by 14% in six years by the end of 2008. Park acreage will <br />have increased from 143.74 acres to 177.24 acres; an increase of 19%. <br />Completion of the joint venture sports complex will add an additional 33 acres <br />to the inventory, plus have the added benefit of substantially increasing the <br />usability of Fairmont Park. <br /> <br />Chapter S - Exitting Pari,. <br /> <br />Peg. 13 <br />
