They should be not be gone in a flash but be honored, preserved and held in perpetuity as Seattle Parks and Recreation historic value. The popularity of one sport over another should not be an option of one's demise justifying revenues. The outdoor richness of recreational activities is for all generations to enjoy regardless of demographics. That recreational resource within city is an investment and should be embraced, enhanced, improved upon and sustainable the recreational park value that it serves all, the community. Don’t erase one for the other, but foster that investment value forward. Make it work for all.

You need to maintain this valuable resource. Every real city has a lawn bowling club. You're lucky to have two. Don't mess this up by caving to the golf lobby. Lawn bowling has a small geographic footprint, but large worldwide historical and social following. Put the youth golf center somewhere else. Don't be known as the Department of Parks and Recreation that killed lawn bowling.

While junior golf is popular, it is vital for any city to have maintain historical places, and traditions that make the city unique in it's culture. he sport of lawn bowling offers the following:
1. it uses perhaps 1-3% of the amount of energy, personnel, water, and dollars to maintain on an annual basis.
2. The introduction of the sport at the Collegiate level is just around the corner.
3. The sport is currently under consideration by the Olympic Committee for inclusion in the 2024 Games.
4. The Sport is an International Sport and is currently enjoying the beginnings of aninflection point among millennials.
5. A 'work around' of the Jefferson Park Lawn Bowling Club (leaving it but still expanding the junior golf program is doable.I would hope and encourage the officials in Seattle's Government would vote to save the historic & unique Jefferson Park Lawn Bowling Club. I feel that in 5 years
you'll be amazed at the importance of the wise decision

I am a former resident of Seattle now living in Brisbane Australia. I would like to ask you to please protect the historic Jefferson Park Lawn Bowling Clubs. Lawn Bowls is an important community activity in Australia. It's a sport that can be played at all levels across all generations. It is recognized as promoting the well-being of seniors by keeping them active and social. It is also known for attracting junior players and fostering healthy interaction between generations. I think Seattle Parks and Recreation would be wise to promote lawn bowling as a fun, multi-generational and family friendly activity rather than put up another golf facility when so many other gofling options are already available. The fact that bowls is an old world sport, more known in England or Europe than American, only adds to Seattle's reputation as a cool, unique city. Jefferson's Park Lawn Bowling Club's 75 year history in Seattle deserves your respect. Please don't demolish this lovely space. Many thanks for your time.

Someone should take some time to think about another solution to your problem, than taking away a 75 year old lawn bowling Green and clubhouse from a very active club?
