Lion's Park Tennis Court (Pete Pedersen & Katie Riopel) <br />Pete Pederson and Katie Riopel gave a presentation on the Lion's Park Tennis <br />Courts. Recent donations have been established from the Lions for replacing the <br />broken basket ball hoop. Katie Riopel explained with her years of service helping the <br />community youth that the need to replace or repair the existing tennis courts and <br />improve the basketball area is a priority that needs to be considered. Riopel <br />provided a preliminary sketch of the proposed basketball court which included four <br />square and hopscotch. An estimate was given on full replacement and/or repairing <br />from a contractor to get an idea of costs involved. <br />Parks and Recreation Commission members had an open discussion on the <br />necessity to encourage more activities in the community for the teen age group along <br />with the needs to update this park. <br />
