FLEETWOOD
Mr. Joe Incoranato attended the meeting to talk about the Fleetwood
recreation area. Mr. Incoranato said he felt that the area near the
swings was ready for a basketball court. Mr. Incoranato felt 'that
having the basketball court might make the children feel thBt~tbe
recreation area is theirs and therefore give them an incentive to
take care of it.
Mr. Maurer said someone would pace out the area to see where exactly
to put the courts. Mr. Maurer explained that there might not be room
for a two end court but there probably will be enough room for a one
end court.
WILDWOOD
Mr. Maurer reported that he had looked into the area at Wildwood #1
and Mr. Alexander, the owner, would be willing to lease it for $1 a
year. Bulldozing would be needed to make the area usable. The matter
,is under consideration and the Commission is looking into the cost
and personnel needed to maintain the area.
