The Palmer Kiwanis Club has
finished their plans for development
of the park area which is located north
of the Valley Presbyterian Hospital and
east of Walker Street.
Plans cal! for the park to be divid
ed into three major areas and two park
ing regions. The first major area to be
utilized will be a picnic-recreation area.
Within this ara it is expected that
there will be between twenty and
thirty 15x15 picnic sites, with fireplaces
and also numerous picnic tables. Also
proposed in this area is a sheltered
pavilion that will contain tables and
have a semi-circular hearth with hood,
that couid be used for club or church
type picnics.
Other facilities to be included in
this area are horseshoe courts, shuffle
board, volleyball and a tennis court.
The area set aside for the camp
ground will include 12 tent sites,
complete with fireplaces and camp
tables. Also in this area will be eight
balloon-shaped camper slits. Camp
sites will be serviced with water and
toilet facilities readily available.
Third major area will be the as
sembly area. Within this area will be
a network of walkways bordered with
flower beds. Main feature of the as
sembly area will be the amphitheater
designed by E. Crittenden. Proposed
uses of the theater include political
speeches, local stage productions and
band concerts.
The park committee of the Kiwanis
club included L. M. DePriest, R. H.
Washburn, W. Miller and Mark Davis.
A three-year stage of construction
has been mapped out by the commit
tee.
The Kiwanis feel that a plan as
ambitious as the community park pro
ject is, that with the cooperation of the
community it can and will be built.
It is expected that the Kiwanis
will present the proposed plan to the
City Council and also to the Planning
Commission for approval.

Project. The structure would have a stage,

Six Valley Lakes Open Early
For "Experimental" Fishing
Of importance to area ang
, lers is a reminder made this
week by Dan McGinnis of the
; Alaska Division of Fish and
Game that six local lakes,
stocked by the division, will be
opened experimentally for
trout fishing on Saturday, May
19. one week prior to opening
I day of the general season.
Biologists will be on hand
at several lakes to determine
if better fishing success will
be experienced during the
earlier opening period. All
fishermen are requested to
cooperate in the program by
supplying brief information
(at the lakes) regarding any
catch. "We are interested in
more and better fishing for
you, and need your help in
gathering this information,"
McGinnis said.
Lakes opening Saturday are:
Echo, Keppler-Bradley, Lucille,
Meiers, Rocky, and Knik.
Bag limits and methods list
ed in the 1962 sport fishing
regulations will apply, McGin
nis pointed out. The regulation
pamphlet has been simplified
and clarified this year for the
convenience of fishermen who
are asked to farmilarize them
selves with the regulations be
fore venturing to the lakes and
streams. “Citing folk for in
advertant violations is a duty
we dislike very much,” said
McGinnis.
As a general forcast it is
estimated that Echo lake will
have a slight edge over the
Seattle has a total of 193
miles of shoreline.
other lakes for fishing suc
cess. Cleared of all fish in
1959, the lake was replanted
in 1960 and 1961. The larger
fish now average 14.5 inches
and the younger fish 7.5 in
ches in length.
Good fishing is forecast for
all early-opening lakes, with
one exception. Oxygen levels
became critical during the past
hard winter in Meiers lake.
Fair to poor fishing can be ex
pected there, it was reported.
Fish will be feeding most
actively and will strike best
during early morning and
late evening hours. The sea
son opens at 12:01 a.m. Sat
urday and daylight hours are
now long. The earlier anglers
will likely obtain the better
catches, it was forecast.
Unlike cutthroat, the brown
trout is a fall spawner.
