STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT:
The task of providing a satisfying and stimulating living
environment has become a greater and greater challenge -- -there is a
growing recognition that if our cities, suburbs, and metropolitan
areas are to be liveable and pleasant it is essential that a system
of parks, recreational facilities /areas, open space, and even some
measure of wilderness are available to all segments of the city's
population. As part of this task the Division of Community
Development and the Department of Public Parks has established a
long -term objective of increasing the park, open space, and
recreational opportunities available to inner -city residents by
improving existing parks and recreational facilities.

the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows:

Dear Mr. Parent:
The Department of Public Parks is requesting the Common Council to
approve the enclosed ordinance, in the amount of $20,000.00, to
light the two La Salle tennis courts and fence off Beck's Lake
along Washington Street.
The Park Department has had many requests from residents in the
La Salle Park area to light the tennis courts and for safety reasons
to fence the lake on the Washington Street side of the lake. Many
small children walk along Washington Street to and from the recre-
ation center park and is our concern that a child might fall into
the lake.
I feel that both of these projects will benefit the residents in
the La Salle Park area and urge the Council to pass the ordinance.
Very truly yours,
DEPA�NT OF PUB S
