BALL FIELD AT REDWOOD SHORES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE .;:1 ~ ¿{jf/!r --4!1- ~ JL M 'IIi'" . 1 1 &. / IN 41'1. Æ -~ l 'T T ~ Jl ~ - T I Dianne Pound read the Committee report of a July 24 meeting. Home Owners Association had recently given permission to use the site near Cringle Drive for the ball field. Redwood City Park Department assisted in its preparation and fencing and provided plans for a sprinkler system. The Committee reported: (a) There is a need for a ball diamond in Redwood Shores. (b) Grassed infield and outfield required. (c) Should coordinate Redwood City planning with Belmont schools. (d) Groups and organizations could be approached for financial assistance. (e) Committee will have further report for the August Commission meeting. Mrs. Pound spoke to the Belmont school district and discovered funds had been set aside for a Redwood Shores school but a definite site had not been chosen and they were reluctant to put in a ball diamond before completion of the school. The Commission decided Redwood City should not wait three years for the school to be built for the ball diamond; that the sprinkler system is the most costly expenditure; that maintenance by the home owners and the City Park Department is feasible; that a diamond could be where the ball field is now even though it should not be near a waterway and it is poorly orientated to the sun. The commdssion recognizes the need for a ball diamond, and preferably in time for the spring 1973 season, therefore, Dianne Pound motioned that the staff consult with the City Manager regarding the cost, feasi- bility and problems in locating the diamond at the present field site; and the Committee continue to research long and short range potential of the various sites.
