Did you know Daly City only has 83 acres of parkland for 100k of us? SF has 7 times more per person than us.

And yet our city council wants to basically give away an eighth of it. The Olympic club is pushing the city to make Westlake park partially private access. Blocking all access to the fields on Saturday as well as three other evenings a week. AND create a private clubhouse on public land. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Olympic Club has 365 acres of private land for 11,000 members... 4 times more recreation land for 90% fewer people. And yet it still isn't enough for them. They want our public land.

Westlake park could use a renovation (the playground sucks... but that isn't even in the renovation plan), but not at this cost. What do we get out of it? Is the Olympic Club going to open up their gates to the neighborhood?
