Of late it seems that the local news is filled with heated exchanges over many proposed or actual decisions of
the current Administration. The Mayor can't seem to make a non-controversial move..
The fate of Robey Park seems to be the latest issue. My question is a simple one : Is this a case of poor
communication or questionable decision making ?
If I am to believe one of the current narratives competing for my attention, the City is in the process of
destroying the ambiance, accessibility and environmental integrity of a forty acre parcel of public land.
Apparently it is converting it to a semi-private facility for some relatively obscure "group".
If I am to believe the current announcements emanating from those City Officials directly involved, the activity
will result in a significant improvement in the beauty of the area in question and if I had not been living under a
rock I would realize how important Disc Golf is to the social and community life of the country..
As a Nashua citizen who has not been to Roby Park and is unlikely to want to learn Disc Golf could someone
please tell me......
Given that Roby Park appears to be a prime open spot in a nice residential area, will the present plan convert it
to a Semi-Private area for Disc Golf advocates? Alternatively, is the City merely altering the terrain so that
Disc Golf can be played there some of the time?
Once the changes are made, who will regulate access to the area? Will citizens be able to just walk around and
not be restricted to walkways ? Will people be able to fly a kite or pilot a drone?
Some of the time? Most of the time?
How much of the time will the area be restricted to “Disc Players Only" ?
Will there be added maintenance costs? If so ,;who pays?
Who polices usage ? Who handles "Sin Up Times" for ordinary citizens and how much time per sign up will be
allowed?
It would appear that simply answers to these and related questions would go a long way toward defusing the
controversy. AND it would be very nice to have the environmental people endorse the project.
