City needs to listen to their residents. This is a beautiful park and can never be replaced.

Not enough public green spaces in SB. Can't get rid of another and on top of that have the city not make any money off of the sale.

My family and I just visited Elbel for the first time, to see for ourselves. We sledded and hiked the hills. It's lovely; let's keep it that way for all to enjoy.

I do not golf and did not know about this park before the proposed sale.

Any discussion of the cost of keeping it instead of sale suggest that we are not considering letting it go wild, as it was, to see and study how natural progressions take place. This would be a great opportunity for the city parks department and schools to learn how an evolution to a natural state changes the flora and fauna of the the land. Other areas have tried this and gotten great results.

Please protect this natural area from residential and commercial development. Keep it available as a natural area and safe haven for all people, animals and plants.

I support retaining Elbel Park and exploring other alternatives to making it self sufficient so we can continue to enjoy this natural resource

Please don't sell this land. It is a beautiful place. Surely there is some where else a new development can be placed. Like find an old building and tear it down and build something there if you must.

No to privatization! Yes, to a land trust for the people.

Angry and upset that the city of south bend would consider selling this unique treasure! Please reconsider. I am a golfer and a nature lover. please save this property and preserve it for generations to enjoy .
