Honoring the Past Roland, Iowa Embracing the Future

NEW PARK IN WEST ROLAND 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. Currently the land is farm land. During 2010 a portion of the land will be seeded with grass and the rest with alfalfa. The initial plan is to have some land available to use for fall soccer 2010 (or possibly spring soccer 2011). 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: |
