Dear TOP committee and Bozeman city commission,
Bozeman is extremely lucky to have an opportunity to improve our parks and
trails system via our recently passed parks and trails bond. Our town isunmatched in Montana as a high quality place to live and I hope that as you
consider funding the sports park that you do so at a level that reflects thatquality.
As you know we are significantly behind other communities in our state with
regard to supporting the demand for multi-use playing fields and currently have10x the number of players in soccer and lacrosse than we did when Bronken
fields was donated and developed 15 years ago to service 300 players. We mustdevelop a sports park that meets current needs and recognizes the inevitable
growth of our town and youth sports.
The development of a high quality sports park that is capable of hosting largestatewide and regional tournaments is a must if we are to compete with other
cities for the millions of dollars of tourism related revenue associated with youthand adult sport tournaments.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter and to your commitment to
Bozeman's Parks and Trails. I encourage you to cast your support to fund at thegreatest level possible a high quality sports park that will reflect a commitment
to our youth that will be a source of pride for our city.
Sincerely,
Lance Child
