Even more depressing than seeing the park empty is the plan to turn it into Luxury condos. It was and is such a part of the history of the city and the region. The sale of the property to the proposed developer is not yet closed - it is contingent upon the city granting approvals for the plan. I'm trying to gather some support for one last effort to pursuade the city to stop the condos from happening. I think many people in this state would love to see a small park, restaurant(s), a new palladium, even a small hotel and camping area there. There's room for a boardwalk, and tying the pier into our public transit's ferry system. There are 122 acres of land on that site, more than enough room for all of that and then some.
