Planning
Meeting Monday Night Will Show Plan for Southpoint, Phase
IThe Trust for Public Land (TPL) will present
the current plan for Phase I of Southpoint Park in a meeting Monday
night at 7:00 in the Good Shepherd Community Center. Phase I will
develop the eight acres from the south end of the Renwick Ruin to the
roadway just below the south campus of Coler-Goldwater Hospital. It will
also stabilize the ruin. The design includes performance lawns adjacent
to the ruin for performances and special events. The design is by
Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC, Landscape Architects, of Philadelphia. The
southern half of the parks length, below the ruin, could ultimately
become a memorial for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, under one plan
being considered. It depends upon fundraising, however.
