Steve discussed possible moves of the playground. Hillview and Greenfeild are both similar in size, 55 x 100, approximately the same size as the Basketball court. Steve stated the basketball court is in decent shape. We analyzed positions, Either where Volleyball or Basketball court area. Steve estimated $15,000 to relocate the BB court, but it gets more use. General thought is to place new playground where the Basketball court is located. Thoughts include moving basketball court to where volleyball court is, and moving the volleyball court to where the playground currently is located. Desired playground would be designed to be suitable for all ages, similar in thought to Greenfield. Discussed possibility of having representative from GameTime at our February meeting. 8.
