Park Board Relents Slightly on Proposed Site for School
The Park Commission softened its stance on transferring a 15 to 20 acre El Dorado Park rectangle to Long Beach Unified School District for a junior high site. Officials proposed to cover the park’s neighborhood playground costs and called for a joint meeting with planning and recreation authorities to review ownership and funding. The board estimated the net change could total about 70 000 dollars, while privately owned alternative sites would cost roughly 250 000 dollars, with opposition citing a city gift to the district.
