Keep history alive! my grandfather worked on those CCC projects and it really means a lot to our family to see it kept up properly.

FIX IT UP. it is an eyesore right now and dangerous. clean it up and bring back the tennis courts so we can actually use the space.

This place used to be hopping back in the day. shame to see it just rotting away when it could be a real asset for the kids up here.
