BREC Day Camp

SSC-3

Observation

In Spanish Town there is a seven-acre site that is the finest wooded property in the Downtown.

Discussion

These untended woods, currently used by rather pastoral street people, should be purchased by or for the Parks Department. In combination with the Lafayette Park Recreation Building, this purchase would complete the compensation due to BREC for the elimination of Victory Park in 1989. Its best use is for a BREC Day Camp.

Recommendation

Purchase this site through condemnation and grant it to BREC for development.
