Following Bill McEwen's logic (column Oct. 9), when he states that Mr. Woodward as a "businessman and a builder" would be "thrilled to see many people using the park -- even attending cage fights": Why stop there? Why not build a race-car track on the river flat-land with bleachers extending up the bluff? Or even yet, why not close the park on weekends and sponsor motorcycle races? Who needs a park?

Just convert the whole thing into a theme park and the city would then be able to bring in thousands of people and make piles of money.

I would like to think that the city fathers have better grasp of their environment than this and come up with better plan than the one described above. New "want-to-be" entrepreneurs are now destroying what was once a beautiful natural preserve.
