In the past, Pride members had mentioned that UD should buy Welcome Park for additional parking adjacent to the Arena. Neil said last year that the city wouldn't sell for parking because the neighbors didn't support it. I had thought that in time the city might sell to UD anyway, but it now appears that will not be possible.
Last week this article was in the DDN. The city is selling part of the park to Bonbright and using the funds from the sale and an additional gift from Bonbright to build a mountain-biking facility.
