a steward of the city, park and nearby neighborhoods,
programming opportunities for juniors and sadults of
all ages and future plans for the facility based on
discussion that took place at last year’s meeting
with Witherbee and Woods Park Neighborhood Associations.

who oversees the leases to organizations like Woods
Tennis has shared that there is a plan in place to have
public meetings this year in regard to replacing the
bubbles with a permanent structure in the future. She

to fundraising and City Council approval. The process
of replacing the bubbles is starting now. If you are
