To All concerned,
I will not be able to attend the public hearing tonight, but wanted to make sure my voice
was heard.
Here is what I wanted to say at the hearing tonight.
When I was looking for a lot to build on 5 years ago, one of the key deciding factors for me
to buy in Woodland Hills was the fact that the City of College Station map had a park
marked in Woodland Hills. It was marked for the future. But it was marked on the map as
PLANNED.... How long does it take to build a park? I know there is some red tape to go
through, but 5 years should have been more than enough.
One of the decisions I made when purchasing my lot was to purchase the nearest one
available at that time to the park. I paid a premium of $12,000 extra for that lot compared
to other lots in the same subdivision. That decision was based solely on the fact that a park
would be put in 3 doors down from me, and my kids would be able to walk to the park
without having to cross a street.
My kids have all but outgrown a park at this point, but I still want it to see the park be built.
To serve the our neighborhood as it was promised by the City of College Station.
NOW, that said. If this park is not built soon. I will be contacting an attorney to handle a
class action suite against the City of College Station. That attorney will be told that I and
others were told that the park would be built when we decided to purchase our homes here.
That some of those that purchased here paid a premium for a home close to the park. That
some of the kids that were promised a park have now grown up 5 years without that park. I
guarantee that if this park is not built it will cost the City a lot more than what it would cost
to just build the park.

As far as equipment...
I vote for your normal playground equipment, a swing set, a slide, a jungle gym, merry go
round. At one point it was on the plans for a jogging trail, So that adults can enjoy the park
also. And lastly a picnic area.
