Preliminary Mulberry Park plans presented; public input requested by February
Summary
Council reviewed preliminary Mulberry Park drawings, discussed regulation-sized fields, concessions/restrooms, a $50,000 lighting commitment over three years and a landscaping donor; public input is planned in February to finalize the design.
Mayor Griffin presented preliminary plans for Mulberry Park and clarified that no formal action was required at the Jan. 9 meeting; the presentation followed meetings with engineers and distribution of draft drawings to council members and press. He said the fields would be regulation size, oriented mostly north–south with one field east–west, the basketball court and playground would remain in place, and restroom and concession facilities would be located where restrooms currently exist.
Mayor Griffin also reported that a business has committed "$50,000.00 over a three (3) year period for lighting only" and that another business committed to landscaping. He said he would like to have public input by February to finalize the plan. Councilperson Young asked whether fields would be regulation-sized and whether there would be a concession area; the mayor confirmed both.
