The condominium post was a direct reaction to Sasaki inviting real estate developers to participate in a steering committee session at the Knock Knock Children’s Museum. That invitation effectively expanded the steering committee without any authorization from the BREC Commission, and no minutes from that meeting were ever published.
That lack of transparency — and the disregard for state Open Meetings requirements — is one of the core issues City Park supporters are up against. I hear your point about tone and perception, and I agree that accuracy and discipline matter. But it’s also important to understand that very powerful forces are actively working to shift City Park into a private conservancy model. That cannot be allowed to happen.

Look closely at this drawing, Some of the concepts being floated aren’t even real golf courses. When you’re down to seven holes, it’s not a plan, it’s a signal that the process has drifted so far from reality that a reset is the only responsible step
All that is is step one to eliminating the course because of lack of play

You mean lack of play AFTER the Sasaki plan is implemented?
There were over 28,000 rounds in 2025 and the course MADE money.
And that number will increase this year with LSU closing.

Correct. Kneecapping the course will not improve anyone’s experience.

I believe there is a group in positions of power who absolutely will not quit until the course is closed and the area redeveloped. I was a fan and supporter of BRAF, Lsu, BREC, and Varsity sports until I saw how they have operated here.

SASAKI is the group that did the now unrealized Greenwood (Dumas) park redesign.

Yes, it is. I you shorten the course and take the driver out of the golfer's hands; play will decrease and then BREC can say--See? We told you golf wasn't wanted at City Park.

How did this firm get their grips into BRAF? Their LSU lakes plan is a complete failure

Another great course, Dumas/Greenwood absolutely ruined by BREC.

It was not in good shape but Dumas was a fantastic course. Had a great layout.
Why they didn't combine Clark and Dumas makes zero sense.
Dumas had some fantastic holes.

Yes, just think if they did at Webb what they are trying to do at City Park.
Posted on 5/29/26 at 8:27 pm to CBandits82
6,7,9 and 18 were fantastic holes.

BREC has no right to turn over City Park to a private entity. Keep City Park public and keep Sasaki's hands OFF the golf course.
Posted on 5/31/26 at 8:18 pm to Bendelow
Bendelow, what will it take to make this happen?
Posted on 6/1/26 at 4:39 pm to Bawpaw
If the BREC Commission votes to place City-Brooks Park into a conservancy, as Sasaki has proposed, it will transfer a valuable public property into a private conservancy. This is in contravention of state law governing transfers of public property and requiring an exchange of equal value. Gone would be transparency, accountability, and someone to talk to about issues.
I urge you to attend the public meeting at McKinley Alumni Center on Thursday, June 11, and raise your voice or fill out a card saying NO to a conservancy. Thank you for asking.

Yes, the comment cards are usually available at the meeting. They are of different colors for support, opposition, and white for neutral. You can fill one out to speak or not to speak, Thanks.
