Why not put outdoor rink on McArthur Island?
KAMLOOPS — Good turnout this past weekend at the first open house on what to do with the old golf course on McArthur Island — lots of standing around discussing possibilities, and posting of sticky notes on maps with preferred options.
Among the many ideas were RV parking, pickle ball courts, a botanical garden, disc golf, a nature park — and yes, I saw one for a dog park.
When City staff and council get down to decisions, they’ll have a lot to think about. They should start by weeding out proposals that cater to a narrow group of people, and look instead at how to put the area to multiple uses for the greatest numbers.
I’m becoming convinced of the Kamloops Naturalist Club’s suggestion of a nature park: relatively low cost and low maintenance, and enjoyment for a broad segment of the public.
