Honoring the Past Roland, Iowa Embracing the Future

BRITSON PARK ATHLETIC
COMPLEX Through the generosity of the Britson family, approximately seven acres of land was purchased in September 2009 for a new park in west Roland. The land is on the south side of West Maple Street (County Road E-18) just west of Britson Circle. Currently the Park Board is working on plans that could include a play structure, several soccer fields, a small football field and maybe a softball/baseball field. To achieve this the Park Board would like any input from the Roland residents on how to best utilize this land. The land has been leveled and has been seeded with grass. It was also shaped to help prevent water runoff into the Britson Circle neighborhood. It should be available for soccer and football practice later in 2012. At this time grants are being pursued to help in the development of the park. The City of Roland web site will be updated as plans evolve.
The Park Board is seeking input from Roland residents concerning
development of the park. Please feel free to contact any Park Board
members if you have comments or ideas. As we progress with this park
development all volunteers would be greatly appreciated. Park Board Members: |
