RE: Letter from Shirley Miller Stein regarding Key Largo Community Park hours
Dear Dr. Boilini,
We have polled the Board of Directors for their input regarding changes of hours of
operation for Key Largo Community Park in our community. There is no objection to
6:30 AM opening during the summer months (April) to Octo her I).
We are also aware that there is a petition for the park to remain open untillOPM, which
we strongly oppose. The ordinance indicates hours of operation to be 7AM - 8:30PM. In
actual use, the park now remains open closer to 9PM. We believe if we approve a IOPM
cJosing, the park would actually be closing at I 0:30 or I J PM. W ~ will approve of a
closing time of9PM.
Yours b'uly,
~~
