Controversy Over Cedar Rapids Tuma Gift Park Land
A 130 acre land gift from Gerald and Dolores Tuma to Cedar Rapids for a city park faces opposition as critics urge against a new golf course on the site. Proponents note ample park needs and wildlife value, while critics argue golf carries elitist overtones and crowds out other uses. The city weighs a compromise, possibly adding adjacent park space if a course is built.
