Sunrise Park Plan Gets Warm Reception
A novel plan for development of Douglas Park in Sunrise Harbour received a warm reception from the Coral Gables City Commission last week. Architect Kenneth Treister, of 3660 Battersea, who presented the plan to the Commission last week at an informal meeting, received plaudits from Mayor John M. Montgomery for his efforts in creating the idea for the park. Treister, a student of park design and engineering, offered his services gratis to the Commission. Parks Important Parks are probably the most important things that the city provides for its residents, Treister told the Commission in presenting his plan. While praising the Coral Gables Youth Center highly, he pointed out that the city lacks adequate neighborhood parks. Young children have difficulty in getting to the Youth Center, he said. "Neighborhood parks are lacking in Coral Gables as they are in other areas," Treister said. The children who would use them have no one to lobby for them, he pointed out. Outlining the fine details of his proposed plan for Douglas Park, Treister said, "It takes more than a sand lot and a few swings to make a park." Estimated cost of building Douglas Park would be between $3000 and $3500, with about $950 of the money going towards a specially constructed wall that would serve to keep children from running out into the streets and designed to help them play. Treister also presented designs for a bench that could be used by either children or adults and also serve as a building tool for imaginative play-sculpture. Commissioners indicated that a start would be made in construction on some phase of the project in the near future.
