RecreationandParkCommission | 2021-06-10 | 4 | Commissioner Navarro didn't realize how intertwined the usage is with the City and AUSD. Hopefully we can find a way to use all the facilities, including the Community College which has a beautiful track and football field that is never used. Commissioner Jones asked if the pool at Franklin Park is under ARPD. Director Wooldridge answered the pool is on City land that is leased to Alameda Swimming Pool Association, whose current lease is coming to an end in September. The City is in negotiations for a new lease agreement. Commissioner Nguyen asked why Alameda High does not use their baseball field instead of the ARPD field. Director Wooldridge answered Alameda High's field dimensions are not of adequate size and space for the baseball teams and there is not enough space for all of their JV and Varsity Men's and Women's teams. 6-C Motion Commissioner Navarro moved to accept the report as presented.
