Six Residents Write In as Council Reviews Memorial Park Courts at 60% Design

The Town Council used Tuesday's meeting to take a close look at the Memorial Park Athletic Courts Improvement Project, now at 60% design, with staff asking simply for direction rather than a vote on any specific plan.

The item drew unusual attention for a design-review stop: six residents — Farley, Gamucio, Kasin, Miller, Wood and Wu — sent in written public comment ahead of the meeting. The agenda packet doesn't spell out what each of them said, but the volume of letters signals real interest in how the courts are being reshaped.

With no staff recommendation locked in, the council's job Tuesday was to steer the design before it hardens further — the kind of moment where neighbors' concerns about noise, lighting, parking or court layout can still change the outcome.

What's next: staff will take the council's direction and keep refining the design; expect a more detailed plan, and likely more public comment, as the project moves past the 60% mark.
