This is the first of 3 workshops. Glatting Jackson, the county consultant and county staff will

Of course I will be there. Should I bring a cooler?

No cooler, just your ideas for a great park.

I admit that I am shooting from the hip and not even taking one minute to consider researching myself, but can someone tell me the acreage of Helen McCall, a budget and what sports are currently played there, and how wide-spread are its users...?

from the Walton Sun.......

The park is currently comprised of 30 acres that consist of baseball, soccer and football fields. The county purchased an additional 10-acres last year to the west to expand the use of its recreational facilities and improve space issues such as parking. The park is located just west of County Road 393 on Moll Drive.

?Last year the park had more than 350 children play either little league baseball or girls softball,?

See, I feel a little degraded somehow, but, on the bright side - while you answered me, I was able to be more efficient at work, which is really what I am suppose to be doing. Praise the compulsion to find an answer when a question is asked.

What is the story behind Helen McCall. Okay, now I am just being
gluttonous.

I mean who is she?

She was a business woman in the area who passed away some time ago.

Wouldn't it be great to see our schools do a project (perhaps by classroom), where the children design a model of what the ideal park would entail? Maybe that is too advanced for some grades, but it seems like a good project. I might get my lil one involved. I sent an email out to friends about the meetings. Thanks for the post. I will read the Sun article. How I missed that, I do not know. I always browse the Sun.
