Survey: Should the city move forward with developing the Altadena park?

On Thursday, Aug. 13, the planning and zoning commission and a crowd of residents discussed the proposed park at the former Altadena Valley Country Club.

The park proposal includes about 19 acres of passive recreation, such as trails, picnic areas, disc golf, a playground, dog park and general green space. The possibility of a canoe launch into the Cahaba River and a fishing pond were also mentioned. The active area of the park includes baseball, soccer and football practice fields located in the property's floodplain.

Besides the park acreage, the rest of the former country club is planned for 66 single family homes on a private, gated streets and some lots to be rezoned to B-2 General Business District. The remainder would be zoned agricultural and remain undeveloped.
