Subject:Wenonah Park Project

Hoping to keep our present and beautiful Wenonah Park with our sycamore trees of many years untouched. Our ring of unity fountain represents generations of events, school gatherings and family functions adding to the history of Bay City.

Take a moment to find a place on Center Avenue and look through the Ring of Unity Fountain and be in awe of the beautiful scenery you see such as the Avenue of Flags, the breathtaking water view and the flag across in Veterans Park; now tell me why there needs to be changes or additions such as structural buildings?

While a pavilion/ ice rink is not unreasonable, the location for (it in my opinion) would be more appropriate across the river in Veterans Park. As a parent and grandparent, it just makes sense to have it in the same surroundings where our notorious "sled hill" sits. I remember ice skating and sledding as a child and enjoyed sharing those same traditional experiences with my children and grandchildren.

Considering this project is more recreational, like other physical activities currently in Veterans Park, makes me wish this project would consider this option.

Lastly, please leave our "Ring of Unity Sculpture" in its place. This signifies Welcome Home to beautiful Bay City. Thank you for your time.
