Subject: Sinaloa Park Project
I attended the park district meeting on Oct. 4, 2007 @ the Park District and am so shocked at you and the park officials decision to continue on this concept of a waterpark with arcade hangout in the middle of residential homes. On the 215 freeway just south of the 10 is a waterpark "with tubes" and a miniature golf course. It is set on a major interstate freeway with a "mile long" RV sales establishment on the other side of the freeway. Same thing with Magic Mountain, Hurricane Harbor. These types of establishments are set on Interstate Freeways for a reason, to generate interest and revenue from outside sources. This does not belong at Irvine and Madera Rd. You and your Board are creating a Nightmare for our City. You are elected officials correct? Where are your Family Values? Would you put this project in Wood Ranch at the Windmill Park to create revenue? I doubt it. The homeowners would be screaming it doesn't belong there. Well, the homeowners are screaming here also. This is the wrong project in the wrong place and the people that you are suppose to be representing are very unhappy with your choices. Of all the people that we have talked to, not one thought this was a good use of our resources. That's a lot of votes. Debbie Bucci
Response: from Larry Peterson, G.M.
You have been clear about your opposition to Sinaloa Park and have provided your reasons. As an agency with community wide influence, we receive opposition from time to time, and in each case, we evaluate the merits of the opposition. We believe that is the right thing to do. We also believe that is what we are doing now. Thank you for your comments; I will print your e-mail for our reference….Larry
