Officials on City Council, including Mayor Charlie Clark, and Saskatoon Public School Board trustees have been invited to tour Optimist Park this weekend, by concerned residents.
Murray Gross, a West Industrial resident says concern stems from a plan the could see the school board build a school at the park and remove two square blocks of green space. He is concerned that dozens if not hundreds of trees will be bulldozed in a neighbourhood, that is under served by parks already, based off of the City of Saskatoon’s own analysis.
Gross says the just over seven acre park is approximately 100 years old and has around 200 mature trees. Within the park numerous recreational activities like a basketball court, toboggan hill and a hockey rink exist. Gross suggests people use the park twelve months out of the year.
