REQUEST To permit ball fields in Bicentennial Park BACKGROUND Miami -Dade Community College proposes to place a baseball field, a softball field and a soccer field in Bicentennial Park for College•intra- mural and varsity sports. Fences would be constructed along the foul lines of the base- ball and softball fields and dugouts at the baseball field; no bleachers are contemplated. The cost of the fields is estimated at $250,000; $90,000 of this is being requested separately from CD funds. ANALYSIS Installation of ball fields would bring organized team sports into Bicentennial Park; thereby encouraging greater public participation. This would serve two purposes: More people would have reason to be attracted to the Park activities and the increased number of people in the Park would serve to allay a perceived fear for person- al safety and security. RECOMMENDATION PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING ADVISORY BOARD It is understood that, in any agreement to be reached between the City and Miami - Dade Community College, the Department of Leisure Services would have control over scheduling of baseball, softball and soccer activities and that the Community College would be responsible for maintaining the fields. Approval RECOMMENDED APPROVAL on June 17, 1981 by a 7 to 0 vote. ro Z � o e 'y Z W z EF 1 1r� 77 Howard V.
