Members announce departures; committee hears requests for sand volleyball courts and more baseball practice space
Summary
Several Parks Advisory Committee members announced they will step away from the committee. Members relayed community requests for local sand-volleyball courts (to support scholarship opportunities) and additional baseball practice fields to serve youth teams, suggesting potential sites and follow-up.
Three committee members announced departures or reduced availability: Woodrow said he is moving away, and Robbie said this was his last meeting. Members thanked departing volunteers and discussed next steps for membership transitions.
Woodrow and other members relayed two community requests: parents have asked for a sand-volleyball facility (which can create scholarship opportunities for student athletes); committee members suggested the Glenn Auto site as a potential location. Separately, parents and coaches reported a shortage of local baseball practice fields, especially for middle-school teams, and the committee discussed tracking field availability and exploring opportunities to increase practice space.
Members also proposed recognizing unpaid volunteers who maintain park spaces and noted the Sandy River shuttle operating on summer weekends as a recreation resource. The meeting ended with a motion to adjourn passed by the committee.
