Here is some news about efforts to stop further development in the Creve Coeur Park wetlands area:
Join The Open Space Council and protest a proposal to build a massive ice complex in Creve Coeur Lake Park on:
Tuesday, August 15th between 5-7pm at the
County Government Building
41 South Central Avenue in Clayton, MO 63105
Consuming 40 acres of open space and towering 65 feet above the lake, this facility would be equivalent to 3 Walmarts in volume with over 1,000 paved parking spaces. It will dramatically alter the look and feel of the park, forever.
The National Park Service is reviewing this controversial proposal.
No final decision has been made, however massive changes are already taking place without specific approvals.
