Dear Sirs
I am writing with reference to the Gun Club Park Cite located near Gun Club
Drive, N,W., and the total lack of recreational facilities in the Northwest
Perry Homes Area of Atlanta.
I don’t believe the Parks Department and the Board of Aldermen has acted in
good faith toward the citizens living in Perry Homes, Scottscrossing, Carver=
Hollywood Hills, Lincoln Homes and the Bankhead Road area,
Funds for the Gun Club Park Site were approved three years ago and additional
Federal funds have been approved for Parks construction, however, there are
only four (4) finished Tennis Courts on this site,
Z am sure Parks Director, Jack Delius and members of the Board of Aldermen
are aware of the fact that over fifty-seven (57%) percent of the population
in these communities aze below the age of eighteen,
Atlanta was able to build a Stadium in one year, but it has recuired three
years to build four (4) Tennis Courts on a Park “ite which will serve a
predominate Negro population, The Gun Club site would be adjacent to the
huge Perry Homes Housing Project.
The Citizens of these communities would appreciate a personal investigation
by the Mayor concerning the feason for the serious delay in completing thic
very important public facility.
We will be looking forvard to your reply.
Sincerely yours,
