• <br />Seabreeze Position Paper <br />March 8, 1995. <br />Page 4 <br />Picnic Pavilion. A small outdoor picnic pavilion with a built-in barbecue pit <br />and picnic tables to entice family gatherings and family reunions at the park <br />could be added. <br />Water -related Recreational Programs. In keeping with the suggested theme <br />of the park, a sailing program could easily be accommodated. La Porte is a <br />" City by the Bay ", but probably fewer than 10% of the youth in this city have <br />ever experienced sailing as a pastime. Not all La Porte citizens desire to join <br />private yacht clubs or sailing clubs so that their children can learn to sail. A <br />small fleet of one and two person sailboats could be purchased and used for <br />giving lessons and for rentals during the season. In addition to sailing craft, <br />there could be canoes for lessons and rentals (in Deer Creek and along the <br />shoreline), as well as paddle boat rentals to allow La Portians to enjoy the bay <br />first hand. This potential use of the site is one that is not offered publicly <br />anywhere in the area and would be a first for the citizens of La Porte. <br />The above projects are potential ideas for development of this site and may be <br />considered by a Citizen Advisory Committee. <br />6) Will there be a charge to use the park'? The current thinking of City Council is that <br />no admission fees will be charged to La Porte residents. Although, fees may be <br />charged for specific marine and water related activities conducted on site. <br />0 <br />
