ability to be eligible to apply
for grant monies to improve
the facility. They did anicejob
on the press box and are now
having the field surveyed and
having a septic plan done so
that new bathroom facilities
can be constructed.
This management agree-
ment had to go before the
General Court and it was
approved on April 1, 2004.
The GeneralCourt held,"The
Barnstable town manager
may delegate, subject to his
review, determinations of
scheduling of the use of the
park to the Cotuit Athletic
Association, Inc., in order to
accommodate the use of the
park by the Cotuit Athletic
Association and the Cotuit
Kettleers of the Cape Cod
Baseball League , Inc., as
well as the general public."
Unfortunately, the park was
vandalized and as a result
the gates were locked by the
Athletic Association.
Local resident Mark Buck-
ley and his wife Sheila are
circulating a petition for a
revolving children's gate in
celebration of the 100th
anni-
versary of gift of Lowell Park
fromAlice LowellRopes. The
petition asksthat the gate be
named the AliceLowellRopes
Children's Gate.
The Cotuit LibraryAssocia-
tion is also requesting that
the Town allow the library
parking lot and driveway to
expan d into the park.The Li-
brary Association maintains
that the existing driveway
is only 16 feet wide and it
is difficult for cars to pass.
Their plan calls for a set of
stairs to the park and new
barrier plants. It appears
that their plan to extend the
lot toward theplaygroundhas
been abandoned. Do we want
to turn park land into pave-
ment? Thetowndock parking
lot is across the street.
What do you think? Let
me know.
