What are the plans for the new park?  What will be featured?  What sports will be catered to?  And what becomes of the current Community Park?  Does that land go to waste?  :X

Could the town bring in "outside revenues" by creating a park space that provides attractions other townships don't have?  Disc Golf course?  Public Golf(PAR 3)?  Boccie Ball courts?(senior games)

I think there will be meetings so citizens can present ideas about what they'd like to see go there.

Sorry, forgot something.... This property does not replace currrent park. Any rec fields it would have would be in addition to what the parks & rec offers.

I read in the NWO that they are doing surveys in Oak Ridge and Summerfield. Are they going to do that here? I think it is a good idea. There are lots of good ideas out there, and people might be able to brainstorm and come up with ideas of how to make them happen at low cost. Anybody on the town council listening?

It is my understanding that TC has chosen a design firm to prepare a Master Sketch plan for the development of the property on Angel-Pardue Rd.  Part of that process early on will be public input to determine what the Town wants & needs.

OKAY EVERYONE!!! LET'S REVIVE THIS TOPIC!!! (Maybe this will help us get a lively Stokesdale forum going!)

IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE STOKESDALE TOWN COUNCIL WILL BEGIN CONSIDERING WHAT TO DO WITH THIS PROPERTY (25 ACRES LOCATED ON ANGEL-PARDUE ROAD) LATER THIS SPRING. A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL HAS STARTED MEETING MONTHLY TO WORK ON THIS. AT ITS MARCH MEETING A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM WILL BE PRESENT. SOMETIME AFTER THAT A SERIES OF PUBLIC MEETINGS WILL BE HELD TO GET PUBLIC INPUT ON WHAT RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THERE.

THEY ARE CONSIDERING PLACEMENT OF SOME KIND OF BUILDING (MAYBE TEMPORARY, MAYBE NOT) THAT COULD SERVE AS A TOWN HALL AS WELL AS FOR STORAGE, IN ADDITION TO SOME KIND OF RECREATION, WHICH COULD BE ANYTHING FROM PLAYING FIELDS TO WALKING TRAILS....

LET'S GET SOME "CHATTER" GOING ABOUT THIS! WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE DONE WITH THE PROPERTY?

So they haven't come up with anything yet? Why is this project moving so slow?

Okay, I guess you called me on that one. I haven't really heard anything. I just have this idea in my head of teenagers who are on the "unsavory" side comming here and using the park and maybe loitering around town and causing trouble.

Have you heard anything about it?

My opinions about the land will be voiced at the meetings. But in short, I believe the land where the existing ballparks are, could be developed to provide all sports and activities.:cool: There is approx. 20 acres there now , and maybe the opportunity to acquire some more in the future from surrounding undeveloped land. I don't understand why we need to start over with a ball park ,when we have the makings of a great recreational area started already.

For some reason, I thought there was some issue about accessing the current park. Is it surrounded by land already owned by the park board? Are there other ways that could be developed in and out of it?
