citq <br />� VOR <br />RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br />2401 HIGHWAY 10 <br />MOUNDS VIEW, MINN. 55112 <br />DEPARTMENT OF PARKS, 784-3055 <br />RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br />March 29, 1989 <br />Irondale High School Student Council <br />c/o Mr. Erickson <br />2425 Long Lake Road <br />New Brighton, MN 55112 <br />Dear Student Council Members: <br />It has become evident that better arrangements must be made to <br />accommodate the annual Irondale High School Ice Age Broomball <br />Tournament. Woodcrest Park took quite a beating due to use <br />beyond this small neighborhood park's capacities. The park <br />building sustained great abuse including a hole put in the wall <br />with a broomhandle, broken light fixtures, dented metal doors, <br />broken indoor wooden doors, grafitti on the doors and inside <br />walls and extraordinary litter. The parking was out -of -control <br />with cars parked in all areas of the park. Students drove right <br />past "NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES" signs. Over two weeks of <br />maintenance repair time and great expense in materials is being <br />expended to make the park building decent again. <br />Because of this experience, I wish to offer a couple suggestions <br />for next year's broomball activity. <br />1. Woodcrest is just too small to accommodate the usage <br />generated from the broomball tournament. I suggest that <br />next year's tournament schedule disperse games among three <br />nearby parks including Sunnysquare, Woodcrest and Lambert <br />Park. <br />
