(KLZA)--Finding a parking place during the summer ballgames at Dallas Jones Park in Falls City can be challenging.
During the November 21st City Council meeting, Third Ward Councilman John Vaughn said he liked an idea he heard from another Council member earlier to create more off-street parking. Vaughn suggested utilizing the unused tennis courts at the south end of the park for a parking lot.
Vaughn suggested going further to the west and north to create additional parking. He said he had not looked into the cost of such a project.
The idea was referred to the Park Board for further consideration. The tennis court nets are gone. The horseshoe pitching area adjacent to the tennis courts were removed several years ago.
City Administrator Gary Jorn also discussed an option that could help create even more parking in the area. Jorn noted that a group of people had raised funds to purchase the house at the corner of 14th and Barada Street. They will then deed the property to the City.
The house would then be razed and the trees removed to create more parking near the Fiedler Family Ball Complex.
The Council approved the plan for the land transfer.
