Section 212 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act amended the Recrea-
tion and Public Purposes Act to state that leases of public land for recreational
purposes to States or other governmental instrumentalities shall be made without
monetary consideration. Although the Act does not require renegotiation of
existing leases, the Director, Bureau of Land Management, believes that extending
this provision to present leases would be in the interest of the lessees and the �Jr\
general public.
To implement Bureau policy, we propose to amend your le " g No. R 14�86 so that
there will be no charge for future rental. Refunds will not ben 6[p orated for
rentals already paid.

Since we require your concurrence before amending the lease, you may indicate
your approval by signing the copy of this letter on the line provided and returning it

Dear Mr. Wilson:
Enclosed are copies of the City of Palm Springs application
to lease 15 acres of land in the N2 of Section 34 of the
City of Palm Springs . The City wishes to lease this land
to develop a neighborhood park to service about one-fifth
of the City' s permanent population. This area was annexed
to the City approximately two years ago and has no outdoor
recreation facilities . The majority of the residents of
this area are of minority races and of a low economic status .
We are proposing an initial development of approximately
7 acres to satisfy the immediate needs of the area. If this
application is approved, we would hope to start development
right away. This property is at the north end of our communi-
ty and it is extremely important that we start to develop a
windbreak as soon as possible . For this reason, we would like
to request your permission to extend water into the site and
plant the border with tamarisk trees and oleanders immediately
so they may grow while you are processing our application. In
order that the park is to be functional during the coming year,
this would be necessary.
The City Council of Palm Springs has placed this as its number
one priority capital improvement program for the coming year.
I am certain you can see the importance our community has
placed on this project. Any assistance you can provide us
in speeding up the processing of the application will definite-
ly be appreciated,

Dear John:
The City of Palm Springs has made an application to lease
15 acres of land in the N2 of Section 34 of the City of
Palm Springs from the Bureau of Land Management. The
land is to be used for a neighborhood park. This partic-
ular area of the City was annexed approximately two years
ago and serves a large Negro population. This is a low
economic area which has a population of 1,300 permanent
residents of which 600 are children.
It is our hope that this application can be processed as
rapidly as possible so construction can be started immedi-
ately. Any assistance you can provide us would be greatly
appreciated.
The City has appropriated funds in the 1968-69 fiscal budget
for the construction of this park, The City itself has
accelerated the park development plans for this area, feel-
ing that the need was of greatest urgency. Attached is a
copy of our application for your information.
Thank you for your continuing support and hoping that you
may assist us with this application, I remain,
Sincerely yours ,

PROPOSED NORTH CITY PARK
DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND CON-
STRUCTION SCHEDULE
i
1. Description
The proposed north city park comprises 15 acres situated in the NZ of
Section 34, T,3S R.4.E SBM in the City of Palm Springs. The site is
situated in the City of Palm Springs, which has a permanent population
of 23,000 and a seasonal population of 50,000. The site is situated north
of Tramview Road and west of the extension of Granada Avenue, east of
Highway 111 and south of tho proposed Palm Springs bypass road and pro-
posed Chino Canyon Dike.
There are no existing public outdoor recreation facilities within 1.6
miles. This location is centrally located to serve the ultimate develop-
ment of Section 34. The proposed site is on relatively level land and
is used by the Coachella Valley County Water District for spreading grounds
at the present time. The proposed park development would not interfere
with the Coachella Valley County Water District's use of the ground. The
proposed park is a neighborhood park to service the immediate neighborhood.
2. Statement of Need
This section of town is presently a low economic and residential housing
area. The majority of the 1,300 permanent residents in the area are of
minority races. Of this 1,300 permanent residents, 600 are school age
children. The permanent population represents one-tenth of the total
city permanent population. The nearest outdoor recreation area is 1.6
miles away, with four major streets separating the two areas. Because
of the lack of transportation and the heavy traffic on these major streets,
children are not allowed to travel alone to the nearest park.
The national standards for neighborhood parks indicate that the people
should not have to travel farther than one-quarter to one-half mile.
Palm Springs is a tourist and convention center with as many as 50,000
people visiting our community at one time. This places a tremendous
overload on our already underdeveloped park and recreation facilities.
This proposed park is a part of the Park and Recreation Master Plan, an
element of the City' s General Plan. Copies of the Master Plan are attached
for your information.
The City has grown from 7,660 in 1950 to 23,000 in 1968 and is projected
to 29,000 by 1970. Palm Springs has a yearly mean temperature of 70.90
and a yearly rain fall average of 7.07 inches.
Section 34 was annexed to the City one and one-half years ago and is
suffering from the lack of adequate public facilities. The construction
of this park will provide a much needed outdoor recreation facility for
this section of the community.

RECOMMENDATION
That the Palm Springs City Council approve the

lease 15 acres of land in the N2 of Section 34
for the development of a neighborhood park .
BACKGROUND
The Palm Springs Park and Recreation Commission approved
the application listed above at its adjourned meeting
on May 29 , 1968 . The development of a Northside Park
was given top priority .by the Commission in its 1968-69
fiscal budget. The following points were brought out

a neighborhood park in Section 34.
2 . There are presently no outdoor recreation facili-
ties servicing this area at the present time .
3 . Approximately 1,300 permanent residents will be
immediately served by this park. Over 600 of
these are school-age children.
4e The area is surrounded by major streets making
it impossible for small children to walk to
other recreation facilities in the community.
5. The remaining recreation facilities within the
City are overtaxed at the present .
6 . Palm Springs is continuing to grow in population
with additional residential development in the
area now on the drawing boards .
7 . In order that a neighborhood and the residents
of that neighborhood may have healthy growth
and development, outdoor recreation facilities
must be provided .

Gentlemen:
`;_:. , o
We have your letter of May 24, 1968 regarding a proposed neighbor-
hood park on the N2 of Section 34, T-3-S, R-4-E.
We are enclosing two prints of our drawing No. 1500-19 which shows
the right of way for the proposed Chino Creek floodway to Indian Avenue.
There now is a dike roughly along the east-west mid-section line of Sec-
tion 34 which prevents the Chino Creek and Whitewater River flow from taking
a former route over NE diagonal half of the SEI'' of Section 34 through Section
35 and the NE diagonal half of Section 2 and down toward the airport .
The two recent flood flows of the Whitewater River indicate a tendency
to cover a larger area southward. In 1966 there was a small flow against
the Section 34 dike and had that flow been as great as the 1965 flow a con-
siderable amount would have been against the dike.
We know of no firm date for the construction of the Chino Creek Channel
and dike by the Army Engineers . When construction is completed the present
Section 34 dike will no longer be required. Until the new Chino Creek dikes
are built the present dike protects a large and valuable area and no con-
struction that will inversely affect its safety can be tolerated.
The District has no objection to your proposed park provided your struc-
tures do not divert or tend to divert the flood flows against the dike. The
flood flows are in an east-southeast direction and any Tamarisk wind-break
should be in a northeast line or easterly line. The wind-break in a north-
south line as shown would divert flows directly toward the present dike and
since it is built of a sandy loam its life would be very short .
We hope the Chino Creek protective works can be constructed soon to
permit orderly development of the north and eastern areas of your city.
Yours very truly,
Lowe 1 0. Weeks

Palm Springs , California
Gentlemen:
At the June 4, 1968 Commission meeting, the Human Relations
Commission unanimously passed a resolution to support the
acquisition of a park site for the Desert Highland Estates,
(located in Section 34) . Due to the location of the Desert
Highland Estates , existing parks , pools and recreation
facilities are not readily accesible.
The Polo Grounds, which is the center of recreation for the
City of Palm Springs , is approximately 3Z miles from Desert
Highland Estates . This distance, in addition to a transportation
problem, enhances the need for a park more accesible.
The residents of the area and the City are planning jointly the
development of a park site. The efforts and cooperation set forth
by both parties will more than guarantee the desired and needed
solution to one of our major concerns .
Sincerely,

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of The Council:
Dear Sirs:
The minister., officers and members of First Baptist Church,

tion for ;lark and Recreation facilities in this area of Section
34- Highland Estates.
lie feel very definitely concern as a group, because of the
fact that there are no recreation facilities in this area and
where they are located in this city presents a serious problem.
Therefore, we strongly recommend the provisions for such
facilities in this area and we trust that this can become a
reality in the very near future.
Yours Sincerely,

Gentleman.:
In behalf of the Community of the Desert Highlands, we
call your attention toward the lack of a Park Recrea-
tion facilities that exist in our area.
There is as acute need for a Park to be establish on
the North-End of the City of Palm Springs to provide
facilities for our young people.
Due to the summer heat, and the distant our people must
travel to the center of town to make use of the swimming
pool facilities ; I feel confident that a Beautiful City
Part within the confines of the North-End of Palm Springs
will provide these necessary out-lets that will have the
tendency to create a Citizenry rapport'
Very truly yours
