Like the Energizer bunny: "Soccer complex"

This topic just keeps going and going. In today's Times-News, from Mary Hecker of Flat Rock:
To the editor: I am disappointed that the governing bodies of Flat Rock and Hendersonville have decided not to put a public park in at Highland Lake Golf course. As a resident of Flat Rock, I would much prefer a public park, which allows more green space, to yet another unremarkable subdivision. I applaud the owners for trying to give this gift to the public.

Perhaps soccer or other sports fields may not suit the need for quiet in the community, but we need more places for people to exercise and enjoy nature. I would much prefer a park on the lands behind our property to the subdivision that is trying to grow there....
I think there is a little confusion on Ms. Hecker's part. There is no subdivision "trying to grow there"--the property is still owned by Course Doctors and none of the surrounding residential areas are trying to expand. Also, the owners were trying to sell, not give, the property, so it would not have been a gift but a purchase.

But, read it all.

  1. Again, a soccer complex with accompanying fields IS NOT A PARK!

  2. A park was never planned, it was mentioned, but never budgeted or really intended....people should do more research before opening there mouths....
